Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm, which frequently affects the mandible. The term 'ameloblastoma' includes several clinicoradiological and histological types. The radiological appearance is most commonly of a multilocular radiolucent type, with a high incidence of poorly defined borders. Definitive diagnosis of mural ameloblastoma can only be done by histopathological examination and cannot be predicted preoperatively on clinical or radiographical grounds. We are presenting a case of mural ameloblastoma in the body and ramus of the mandible in a 65-year-old female patient, with emphasis on its radiographical and histopathological appearances. |
