Management of Plexiform Ameloblastoma in a 12 year old female : A Case Report

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic origin. Ameloblastoma is responsible for 1% of all the oral and maxillomandibular cysts and tumors. It is odontogenic in origin and benign in nature but it has a high percentage of local recurrence rate and possible malignant development when treated inadequately. We report a case of plexiform ameloblastoma presenting in a 11-year-old female. The aim of this article is to evaluate the clinical result of the patient reported to us with mandibular ameloblastoma using conservative management. The tumour was conservatively managed by enucleation and chemical cauterization. Histological analysis demonstrated a plexiform ameloblastoma. The patient remains well without disease after 3 years of postoperative follow-up and still being followed up.
