RESUMO
Ameloblastoma is a tumor constituted by proliferative odontogenic epithelium that, in 20% of the cases, originates in the maxilla. Clinical and radiologically it can be multicystic, monocystic and peripheral. Although it is considered benign, the tumor may grow slowly, with intracranial invasion or distant spread. In the present work we analyze our experience and the literature on the field, and, as a conclusion, we recommend initial complete surgical excision.
