We present a case of a 39-year-old woman with angiosarcoma of the heart metastasing to the right side of the mandible, a situation not often found previously in the literature.展开更多

We argue that the removed tumor in the neck most possibly has its origin in surgical seeding of cells during earlier resection and reconstruction and not by common ways of metastasis. The seeding of tumor cells during tumor surgery and metastasis rate of malignant ameloblastoma is discussed and the literature in this area is reviewed in the paper.展开更多
