Description
Abstract
Introduction
Ameloblastoma is a local invasive tumor which originates from remnants of the dental lamina and odontogenic epithelium and it accounts for only 1 % of all oral tumors. 1The first time this pathology was described was in the study of Robinson and Martinez in 1977, defining it as unicentric, non-functional, intermittent growth, of a tumor nature, benign, clinically persistent and of conservative treatment.2 The current classification given by WHO in 2017 is simplified into: Conventional ameloblastoma, Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA). and the Extraosseous/Peripheral type3. Among the three variants, the conventional type is the most common variety and UA is a comparatively rare type
