Ameloblastoma: clinical presentation, multidisciplinary management and outcome
Abelardo Medina, Ignacio Velasco Martinez, Benjamin McIntyre, Ravi Chandran
Abstract
We studied 21 patients who underwent radical ameloblastoma excision followed by immediate reconstruction. Comorbidities, consumption of alcohol and/or tobacco and BMI status did not contribute to an unfavorable outcome. Giant ameloblastoma (≥5 cm) and/or tumor involving bony curvatures increased surgical complexity, the incidence of complications and hospital stay.
