Abstract excerpt
Ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor which may be complicated by hypercalcemia in advanced disease. Tumoral parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) production and local osteolysis from paracrine factors have been proposed as mechanisms. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors have been successfully used in ameloblastomas with BRAF V600E mutation to reduce symptoms and decrease tumor burden....
