Abstract

Abstract: Two cases of recurrence of an ameloblastoma in autogenous rib or iliac bone graft many years after the initial operation for a mandibular ameloblastoma with evidence of soft or hard tissue invasion were presented. A review of the literature disclosed only 13 cases of recurrence of ameloblastoma in bone grafts. The initial operation in the 2 cases presented was hemimandibulectomy followed by autogenous rib or iliac bone graft. Sixteen years or fourteen years after surgery there was clinical and radiographic signs of recurrence. It was concluded that extensive resection including bone as well as adjacent soft tissues is critical because recurrence seems to come from the soft tissues, especially from the adjacent periosteum or bone.

Key words: Ameloblastoma, Dentogenic tumor, Bone grafts
