Odontogenic adenomatoid tumor of the mandible (adenoameloblastoma).
Adenoameloblastoma may recur when treated incompletely by curettage. In the rare case of recurrence, an extensive and mutilating resection may become necessary. A correct diagnosis must be made in cases of atypical ameloblastomas in order to avoid unnecessary radical surgery. In doubtful cases, biopsy with histopathologic examination is indicated.
