F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging in the Ameloblastoma Follow Up

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that originate from dental region (1). Previous reports have determined the F-18 FDG PET/CT findings of this tumor (1) and this is the first case with follow up results in the literature as far as we know.
