Ameloblastoma of the Mandible: A Case Report with Review of Literature

Abstract

The ameloblastoma, particularly the mixed cystic/solid type, is the most clinically significant odontogenic tumor. The tumor is often locally aggressive and has a significant impact and may have a patient's morbidity and mortality. In this report, we present a case of a large ameloblastoma that presented with the typical radiographic features of variably sized radiolucent loculations. Microscopically, the tumor showed a pattern of acanthomatous variant predominating. The tumor was treated with a partial resection of the mandible.
