Abstract:
In this report, an ameloblastoma case, which has been occurred on the left maxilla of a 10 year-old, male, German shepherd, was described on the clinical and morphological features. The mass with the dimensions of 5x2.5 cm was removed totally by maxillectomy and examined by radiography, magnetic resonance (MR) and biopsy. The tumor was histopathologically classified ameloblastoma of follicular type and in some fields showed acanthotic form. The invasiveness of the tumor was also observed to be high. This report is the first case of maxillary ameloblastoma in dogs in Turkey.
