Abstract

Ameloblastoma represents 1% of all tumors in the oral cavity. It is an odontogenic tumor, benign in nature, usually presents in jaw bone. The unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) presents itself as a cystic cavity without solid neoplastic features, which differs from the solid ameloblastoma with regard to the age of the patients and the rate of recurrence. It shows clinical and radiologic characteristics of an odontogenic cyst. A case of UA is presented here, where lesion was pain free with continuous expansion of the mandible. It was removed by curettage and chemical cauterization done with Carnoy’s solution under GA.

Keywords: Unicystic ameloblastoma, Odontogenic cysts, Curettage, Intramural.
