Ameloblastoma (from the early English word amel, meaning enamel + the Greek word blastos, meaning germ is a rare, benign tumor of odontogenic epithelium (ameloblasts, or outside portion, of the teeth during development) much more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than the upper jaw.

It was recognized in 1827 by Cusack. This type of odontogenic neoplasm was designated as an adamantinoma in 1885 by the French physician Louis-Charles Malassez.

It was finally renamed to the modern name ameloblastoma in 1930 by Ivey and Churchill.

While these tumors are rarely malignant or metastatic (that is, they rarely spread to other parts of the body), and progress slowly, the resulting lesions can cause severe abnormalities of the face and jaw.

Additionally, because abnormal cell growth easily infiltrates and destroys surrounding bony tissues, wide surgical excision is required to treat this disorder.

If an aggressive tumor is left untreated, it can obstruct the nasal and oral airways making it impossible to breathe without oropharyngeal intervention.

This patient has the tumor for 10-12 years.

It looks like a prolapsed vagina ... I wonder how they eat? I imagine their diet would mainly consist of liquids.

Poor woman should have taken care of that problem a bit sooner.

Yes because if it was something that she was able to have taken care of sooner I am sure they decided not to. Couldn't possibly be that they do not have the means to get help for it now could it?
