A case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 32‐year‐old male is presented. Clinically the lesion appeared as a mass on the left mandibular lingual gingiva with no evidence of bone involvement. Histologic examination of the lesion revealed the presence of scattered islands of ameloblastoma within the connective tissue.
