Mural Unicystic Ameloblastoma in Anterior Region of Mandible: A Case Report

Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally invasive epithelial odontogenic tumor. Ameloblastoma usually presents in the posterior mandibular ramus region, while it is rare in the anterior mandibular region. It has been divided into three classic types: Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA), Extraosseous/Peripheral Ameloblastoma, and Conventional Ameloblastoma. The unicystic type accounts for approximately 5-15% of all cases and predominantly occurs in the younger population, typically in the second decade of their life, but is quite rare in older adults. We present a case of mandibular unicystic Ameloblastoma in the anterior area of a 62-year-old Iranian female with intraoral swelling of the gingiva. We reported the clinicoradiographic and histopathological features of the lesion with complete treatment intervention and follow-up.
