ABSTRACT

The ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin with mature fibrous stroma, without odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It exhibits locally aggressive and invasive behavior, with a high level of recurrence. Ameloblastomata account for between 11 and 13% of mandibular odontogenic tumors, and 1% of maxillo-mandibular tumors and cysts. Treatment should be guided by the potential of the tumor and its growth characteristics based on the clinical variable and histological type, the preferred treatment being that which ensures the best prognosis for the patient.
