5 Facts you should know about

Ameloblastoma

Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing but locally aggressive benign tumor that primarily develops in the jawbone, specifically the mandible or maxilla

Diagnosis often involves imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the tumor's nature

Treatment typically involves surgical resection, aiming to remove the tumor while preserving jaw function. Recurrence is possible if not completely excised

The exact cause of Ameloblastoma remains uncertain, although certain genetic mutations or alterations are believed to contribute to its development

Prognosis after treatment is generally favorable, but long-term follow-up is essential due to the potential for recurrence
