Peripheral Ameloblastoma of the Mandible: A Rare Case Report

Ameloblastoma represents 1% of all oral tumors and 11% of odontogenic tumors. They are located much more frequently on mandibular bone, rather than maxillary bone, more often in the posterior region instead of the anterior one, except for the African black race which is localized more frequently at the symphysis. It’s extremely rare to find these tumors in extra-mandibular locations, because of the association between their etiology and dental structures.
