A Case Report of Peripheral Ameloblastoma with Unusual Invasion.

In general, it has been reported that peripheral ameloblastoma are less common and less aggressive than their intraosseous counter parts. In this paper, a case of peripheral ameloblastoma, which appear in a 63-year-old Japanese male, is described. The present case showed unusual invasive and aggressive features. Based upon the clinical course and histopathological features, biological behavior of this neoplasm is discused.
