Abstract
We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who presented with metastatic ameloblastoma involving the lungs, 20 years after resection of the primary tumor in the mandible. The lesions were debulked on multiple occasions with radiofrequency ablation over an eight-year period with local response. There were no complications related to the procedures. We suggest that radiofrequency ablation is a possible treatment modality for the management and control of metastatic ameloblastoma.
