Abstract

Hemangiomatous ameloblastoma is a very rare variant of ameloblastoma in which the lesion contains blood filled spaces lined by endothelium. Various theories account for the vascular origin of this lesion. We present a case of hemangiomatous ameloblastoma in a 30 year old male affecting the left side of maxilla and mandible. Investigations like panoramic radiography, computed axial tomography and microscopic examination were done. The relevant clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of this case are presented.
