Thus, surgery is the most common treatment of this neoplasm. A case of giant ameloblastoma was recently reported and managed with total mandibulectomy and pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction. [15] A systematic review found that 79% of desmoplastic ameloblastoma cases were treated by resection.
Therefore the mesenchymal component is histologically important in differential diagnosis. [7] The mesenchymal stroma in normal development is a rich myxoid connective tissue. It gives rise to the dental follicle which encapsulates the developing tooth. [8] In Ameloblastoma the stroma is mature, often fibrous.

Typically, clinical signs and symptoms present with bony expansion, or infection. However, bony expansion is uncommon as odontogenic keratocysts grow due to increased epithelial turnover rather than osmotic pressure. When symptoms are present they usually take the form of pain, swelling and discharge due to secondary infection.
