A case report of Ameloblastoma in 36 years old female patient

ABSTRACT

Ameloblastoma is benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin which is often aggressive and it originates from remnants of the dental lamina and dental organ (odontogenic epithelium). It is generally a painless and slow growing tumor causing expansion of the cortical bone and infiltration of the soft tissues. Its incidence peak is in the third and fourth decade of life and it is most common in black individuals. The ratio of ameloblastoma of the mandible to maxilla is 5 to 1, with higher sensitivity in the mandible. Here we are reporting the case of Ameloblastoma in 36 years old female patient and we are able to find and document the typical histopathological features of Ameloblastoma.
