Malignant ameloblastoma is known to be a very rare disease. We report a case of maxillary ameloblastoma that ended in death of pulmonary metastasis after the second operation. The patient, a 51-year-old housewife was first seen for a problem extract wound at the right maxillary second molar in October 1968. A partial resection of the right maxilla was performed under the diagnosis of ameloblastoma in February 1970. Twelve years later, recurrence at primary region was observed and excision was performed again. About 8 months after the second operation, her chest roentogenogram revealed many miliary nodules in both lungs, which gradually grew. She died about 15 years and 6 moths after the initial visit. The autopsy showed that the pulmonary lesions were the metastasis of maxillary ameloblastoma.
