Abstract

Ameloblastoma constitutes a homogenous group of neoplasm with mandible as a common site of occurrence in head and neck region. Histologically it appears in different patterns with follicular and plexiform as common one. We hereby report a case of 47 year old male with emphasis on correlation between histological findings and clinical behaviour of lesion. Regular follow up of patients should be carried out to predict the behaviour of this tumour and to ascertain histopathologic correlation to biological behaviour of the tumour.
