The case report of a patient with history of gastritis that visited the doctor's office of her health area due to an increase of volume in palate, with progressive growth, accompanied by problems to chew and to swallow is presented. She was referred to the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba. The results of the additional tests, including the incisional biopsy in palate, confirmed that it was an ameloblastic carcinoma. Clinical follow-up in "Conrado Benítez" Teaching Oncological Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was suggested.
