Medical costs can vary hugely between providers. I'm not even sure why a CT would be required if you were doing the full resection and fibular flap.

I also would not be in a rush (and yes - I know very well how hard that is).

How long ago was the "cyst" removal which turned out to be ameloblastoma? Do you know the approximate size?

Have you read the other ameloblastoma thread? @erikm was in a similar situation - tumor removed, later identified as ameloblastoma - what to do now? Starts on Page 22 https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ameloblastoma/?pg=22

Hi Tom,

thanks for checking in. I will be looking at that thread as well and that is extremely helpful. As for your question.

This cyst removal originally happened in March 2024, through the removal of my impacted wisdom teeth in the lower jaw section. Afterward, after having a follow-up in October, it was advised that a recurrence had happened in the lower jaw section. This spot was not the same area where the original wisdom tooth and cyst were, which was removed. It's hard for me to explain without pictures. The x-ray did not initially look big, and was recent, underneath the canine and first premolar.
