Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is a relatively rare variety of ameloblastoma and only very few cases have been reported so far. The present case is an elderly man who had reported with a swelling in the anterior mandible which turned up to be desmoplastic ameloblastoma. Proper diagnosis is necessary to report such a case, so that the actual incidence can be noted.
