It usually behaves as a benign, slow growing tumour of the oral cavity with a high recurrence rate, especially when it is inadequately resected. A small proportion of ameloblastomas metastasize to distant organs, with lungs representing the most common site of metastatic spread. In this report, we present the case of a middle-aged man with two pulmonary nodules and a history of mandibular ameloblastoma excised 10 years prior to this radiological finding. Following resection and histopathological analysis of the lung lesion, a diagnosis of metastatic ameloblastoma was confirmed. No local recurrence of the primary tumour was identified. At 1-year follow-up, the patient had no evidence of local or metastatic disease.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease}, author={Kapriniotis, Konstantinos and Bania, Angelina and Lampridis, Savvas and Geropoulos, Georgios and Mitsos, Sofoklis and Monk, Fleur and Moore, David A. and Panagiotopoulos, Nikolaos}, year={2021}, month={Apr.} }
