Abstract

Ameloblastic carcinoma is an extremely rare, aggressive, malignant tumour that is most common in the mandible. Because of its rarity there is no general approach to treatment. We present a rare case of an ameloblastic carcinoma with multiple metastases in a 63-year-old Japanese man that was treated in several different ways, including chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy.
