An attorney in my office has had his 11 year old German shepherd diagnosed with this. Has anyone has experience with it? Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma*: The epulides are a group of benign tumors of dental origin. Acanthomatous ameloblastoma is a member of this group. Although technically â??benignâ?? (does not metastasize), it can be aggressive locally by destroying underlying bone. Treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy is usually curative. Untreated, however, this disease can progress to a point that affected patients can have significant pain in the jaw and are unable to eat. Evan L.
