Abstract
Objective: To present a case of mandibular ameloblastoma with pulmonary metastasis after ten years and discuss the possible pathophysiology, diagnostic and therapeutic options.
 Methods:
 Study Design: Case Report
 Setting: Tertiary Private Hospital
 Subject: One
 Conclusion: Though benign, ameloblastoma has a high propensity for local invasion and may metastasize. It is difficult to predict metastasis, even with adequate treatment of the primary lesion. There is no standard protocol to prevent or detect metastatic ameloblastoma, but regular and close follow up may ensure early diagnosis.
