Abstract
The 2nd most common tumor of odontogenic origin is Ameloblastoma which develops from epithelial cellular elements and dental tissues in various phases of development. It is a slow-growing, persistent and locally aggressive neoplasm of epithelial origin, affecting the posterior area of lower jaw in 80% of cases. Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) is one of the less encountered variants of Ameloblastoma. Radiographically it mimics many of the odontogenic cysts and tumors and hence becomes difficult to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. We report here a case of plexiform unicystic variant of ameloblastoma in a 26 years old male patient.
