[Ameloblastoma of the pterygomaxillary fossa. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
Our propose is to present a case of peripheral ameloblastoma revealed by a glue-ear. This lesion is rare: thirty-one peripheral ameloblastoma have been reported whereas this case seems to be the first case described in the infratemporal fossa. Microscopic examination is necessary for the diagnosis. The resection was realized through the soft palate.
