Abstract:
Presented is a case of a 62-year-old female who underwent segmental
resection with iliac bone graft reconstruction for recurrent ameloblastoma.
Another recurrence was noted 14 years later, this time with involvement
of the osseous graft. A search of recurrences on bone grafts showed
limited reports in literature. The authors explore possible reasons for
this unusual occurrence and present current treatment recommendations
in ameloblastoma management.
