AB  - We report a rare case of desmoplastic ameloblastoma lesion that filled the entire 
      maxillary sinus. The patient visited our hospital with a chief complaint of 
      swelling around the upper left premolars. A panoramic X-ray captured an image of 
      a mixture of ill-defined radiolucency and radiopacity from the swollen area to 
      the maxillary sinus. Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resononce imaging 
      (MRI) showed that the lesion occupied almost the entire left maxillary sinus and 
      had entered the nasal cavity. A pathologic diagnosis of ameloblastoma was made 
      after biopsy, and the tumor was removed and the marginal bone curetted under 
      general anesthesia. A CT scan at 4 months postoperatively indicated the presence 
      of residual and recurrent tumor in the area of the upper left lateral incisor, 
      and removal and curettage were performed again. Recurrence may be detected 
      relatively easily based on radiographic characteristics, and therefore follow-up 
      with an X-ray examination such as a CT scan is important.
