case_images: Panoramic view of the patient revealed a well-defined radiolucent area extending from right molar region to the left molar region of mandible with root resorbtions [Figure 1a]. Computed tomography showed both buccal and lingual expansions and root resorbtions [Figure 1b and c]. The lesion has appeared similar during the follow-up period [Figures 1 and 3].
case_images: Reverse polarization in basal layer and neoplastic epithelium overlayed with squamous epithelium indicate unicystic ameloblastoma.

case_images: Reverse polarization in basal layer and neoplastic epithelium overlayed with squamous epithelium without intraluminal or extraluminal infiltration indicates luminal type UA [Figure 2].
case_images: Panoramic view following 10 months' marsupialization (a) 24 months after marsupialization (b) after enucleation (c) no recurrence in 16 months after enucleation (d).

case_images: The lesion gave a good response and shrinked with marsupialization [Figure 3]. The lesion has appeared similar during the follow-up period [Figures 1 and 3].
case_images: After marsupialization for removal of diminished lesion an incision was made along the marsupialization hole (a and b) lesion was enucleated and peripheral osteotomy was performed (c)

case_images: Lesion wall was thickened following 2 years' decompression comparing with thin wall at the beginning [Figure 4].
