Abstract

Clear-cell ameloblastoma (clear-cell odontogenic carcinoma) is an uncommon odontogenic epithelial neoplasm. We report a case of a well-circumscribed 2 cm radiolucent lesion of the anterior mandible in a 30-year-old woman; this tumor was curetted. The first recurrence (at 5-year follow-up) was treated by aggressive curettage, and in the second recurrence a block resection was performed. However, 2 years after the resection was performed, the tumor recurred for a third time as an extraosseous gingival tumor, and 6 months later a recurrence was noted involving only alveolar mucosa.
