Ameloblastoma: report on two cases and review of the literature.
The ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumour that is locally aggressive and tends to recur following treatment. Several variants of this tumour exist, with the solid/multicystic and unicystic variants being the most common. We present 2 cases of mandibular ameloblastoma and review the recent literature.
