Ameloblastoma containing mucus glands.
A 53-year-old woman had a large, deforming mass involving the mandible and was treated by subtotal mandibulectomy. Histologically, the mass proved to be an acanthomatous ameloblastoma that contained mucus glands. Eleven years after the mandibulectomy, the tumor has not recurred or metastasized.
