Popis: Ameloblastoma is an infrequent odontogenic neoplasm located in the mandible and/or infratemporal fossa extending into the maxilla. The authors report a patient who underwent a total of five operative interventions for recurrent lesions involving mandible and infratemporal fossa at other institutions before admission to our hospital. Radiographic imaging in our case demonstrated a solid/multicystic recurrent lesion of the right infratemporal fossa extending into the maxilla. Gross total excision of the tumour was done and the postoperative course was uneventful. In any case with a tumour located in this region, it is important to be aware of this condition because this lesion is unusual but serious pathology as illustrated in this report.
