AMELOBLASTOMA REDUX

This man came in with a slow growing tumor. He is from River State-quite far from NCH. He has an ameloblastoma.  The mandible was paper thin and completely replaced with tumor and fluid from the midline up to the temporomandibular joint. We performed a hemimandibulectomy with disarticulation of the joint.
