Popis: A desmoplastic variant of ameloblastoma with osteoplasia in the stroma is reported. This tumour presented in the canine/premolar region of the left maxilla of a 31-year-old woman. It was treated by partial hemimaxillectomy and immediate reconstruction with a non-vascularised iliac graft. The location of this lesion, its histology and radiological features differ from those of the conventional ameloblastoma. The behaviour and prognosis of the desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) cannot at this stage be predicted due to the small number of cases that have been reported and a lack of long-term follow-up. To our knowledge this is the first documentation of the CT and MRI features of desmoplastic ameloblastoma with pathologic correlation.
