title: Recurrent ameloblastoma of the mandible and maxilla.
abstract: Sixteen cases of recurrent ameloblastomas of the mandible and maxilla seen over a 14 year period at the Tata Memorial Hospital were analysed with emphasis on recurrence patterns, type of primary surgery and surgical management. Seventy-five percent of the cases had conservative surgery at the first instance. In our experience, recurrent tumors could be excised widely even in unusual locations with good results.
