title: [Maxillary ameloblastoma: report of two cases].
abstract: The ameloblastomas are benign odontogenic tumors locally aggressive that between 15-20% are located in the upper maxillary. The maxillary ameloblastomas have worse forecast than their mandibular homologous upon presenting greater index of postsurgery relapses and a greater percentage of malignancy. Their proximity to nasal cavity, orbit and skull base suppose a risk added by the probability of extension to these structures.
