Online published on 4 June, 2018. Abstract Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. It is the second most common odontogenic neoplasm, and only odontoma outnumbers it in reported frequency of occurrence. Its incidence, approximately 1% of all oral tumours and 18% of all odontogenictumours, combined with its clinical behaviour, make ameloblastoma the most significant odontogenic neoplasm. It appears most commonly in the third to fifth decades and with equal frequency between sexes. Ameloblastoma prevalently occurs in the mandibular molar and the ramus areas. They are usually benign in growth pattern but frequently invade locally and occasionally metastasize. The ameloblastoma occurs in three variants, each with specific implications for treatment and a unique prognosis: solid or multicystic, unicystic, and peripheral. Clinical and imaging findings aid in the differential diagnosis of ameloblastomas; however, histopathological evaluation is essential for its definitive diagnosis. Early diagnosis and precise detection of the borders to provide adequate safety margins during the surgical resection of the tumor are necessary to achieve successful treatment and recurrencefree survival for solid ameloblastomas.
