Abstract

Ameloblastic carcinoma, secondary type, is an extremely rare odontogenic malignant tumor. The present study reports the case of a 58-year-old male with ameloblastic carcinoma that extended into the intracranial space close to the internal carotid artery. Surgical excision was performed, as headaches were being caused via compression by the mass. Small remnants of the tumor remained surrounding the internal carotid artery following surgical resection. Although the remnant tissue was not detected on magnetic resonance imaging or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET), it was clearly visualized on

Keywords: ameloblastic carcinoma; intracranial extension; methionine-labeled positron emission tomography
