Abstrakt:	Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) represents a distinct challenge in the realm of odontogenic malignancies due to its rarity and aggressive nature. We present a unique case of AC in a 70-year-old male, retired dry cleaner, with symptoms initially suggestive of chronic allergic rhinitis and recurrent acute sinusitis with asymmetric facial edema and paresthesia. Detailed evaluation revealed a prominent mass in the right maxillary sinus with extensive cortical destruction. Pathological assessment post-right maxillectomy identified a high-grade AC with malignant spindle cell transformation. The patient underwent subsequent interventions, including neck dissection and radiation therapy. Twelve months post-presentation, the patient was recovering appropriately without evidence of recurrence of malignancy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by AC as well as its unique presentations emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach and multidisciplinary management. It also raises considerations about potential chemical exposure implications in AC development.
