From what I have read of the ameloblastoma, it does not originate in the squamous cell layer, but from the ectoderm or epithelium tissue, so would be treated differently than the SCCs in here? Walter, please be sure to write EVERY QUESTION you have down on paper and bring it with you for your next doctor appointment. I just don't remember reading in this forum about anyone with ameloblastoma. May your doctors find you don't need quite the aggressive treatment first mentioned. Please stick with us and let us know how they will be helping you.
