Odontogenic tumors are any abnormal growth in and around the mandible and teeth. Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor of the mandible. Its extensive tumefaction accords to a high malignant transformation potential. Asymptomatic slow growth of the affected area is a consensus in the literature for the manifestation of ameloblastoma which is consistent. It comprises nearly 1% of all oral tumors, 13-58% of all odontogenic tumors, and is far more typical indeveloping countries with an elevated risk of recurrence. Granular cell ameloblastoma (GCA) is a less prevalent histological subtype of ameloblastoma with a pronounced transformation of the cytoplasm of stellate reticulum like cells into a rough, granular eosinophilic appearance. This article reports a case of GCA involving the posterior part of the right mandible region in a 37-year-old female patient which even after surgical resection recurrence and spread to the frontal bone.
