【 摘 要 】

The Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma exhibits important differences in anatomical distribution, histologicappearance and radiographic findings compared with the classic type of ameloblastoma. We describea case of desmoplastic variant of ameloblastoma localized in the mandibular anterior portion of thejaw, extending posteriorly in the left side. The tumor was expansile, slowly growing and painless.The radiographic finding showed diffuse, radiolucent lesion with cortical bone expansion. Surgicalexcision was performed and follow-up examination done after two years disclosed no recurrence.The purpose of this article is to assist in better understanding of this variant of odontogenic tumor.
