BARRON MONDACA, Viviana Raquel  and  PELAEZ PACHECO, Carlos Dencel. Case report:: Follicular multicystic ameloblastoma, acanthomatous variationina mandibular body. Cuad. - Hosp. Clín. [online]. 2015, vol.56, n.2, pp.40-44. ISSN 1562-6776.

Ameloblastoma is a rare neoplasia of odontogenic tissue, benign in nature and locally invasive. It requires an appropriate diagnosis based on the clinical presentation, location, size of the lesion, age and histological type, treatment is very difficult, and recurrence being is high. We present the case of an adult female patient, with a diagnosed follicular multicystic ameloblastoma, acanthomatous, located in the mandible body, which was treated with curettage due to refusal of local segmental resection. Six months later, no recurrence was present.

Keywords : Ameloblastoma; mandible.
