Ameloblastoma is a rare benign tumor of odontogenic origin with local invasive characteristics and a high recurrence rate. Depending upon the location, size and the subtype of Ameloblastoma, surgical treatments, such as marginal or segmental resection, have traditionally been implemented, but some conservative surgical methods are also being introduced, including decompression, enucleation, or curettage. We are presenting a case of 35 years male with Ameloblastoma of his right body of the mandible. Presentation of the case, Surgical workup, and management are discussed.
