Abstract

Abstract

Ameloblastoma is an archetype of a true neoplasm of odontogenic origin. Most ameloblastomas have been classically described as a multilocular cyst-like lesion of the jaw. The unicystic variant is far less frequent and has been reported in only 6% of ameloblastomas. The presented patient is an 18-year-old female, diagnosed with this distinct entity which was treated with hemimandibulectomy, followed by reconstruction.
