Post-operatively the patient underwent radiation therapy and routine clinical and radiological surveillance. As they usually do not form metastasis, they are considered as benign tumors with a locally invasive growth pattern and destruction of the jaws and the surrounding tissue (Oral Diseases, 23, 2017, 199). Hybrid ameloblastoma lesions were first described by Waldron and El-Mofty as a tumor variant in which areas of follicular and plexiform ameloblastoma coexist with areas that are characteristic of DA.
