Abstract
Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor (benign neoplasia), with no predilection for sex, affecting adults in the third and seventh decade, which may present through bone expansion and resorption, root resorption, and aesthetic and functional damages. In some cases, where it presents great proportions, reconstruction of bone with prostheses is necessary after removal. The objective of this report is to present a case of multicystic ameloblastoma in a 30-year-old female patient with melanoderma with an increase in the lower third of the right face. The intraoral examination found right mandibular dental crowding and increased volume in the right mandible region. The tomographic examination showed a suggestive image of multilocular hypodense areas in the region of body, angle, and right mandibular ramus. The patient was referred to the service of maxillofacial surgery for tumor resection and total reconstruction of the region with total prosthesis of the temporomandibular joint.
