Abstract

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a rare benign entity which represents 5-15% of all intraosseous ameloblastomas, less aggressive and less invasive, which is observed mainly in younger patients. We report a case of unicystic ameloblastoma in a 25-year-old woman with a rapid evolution in a few months in the symphyseal and parasymphyseal region and illustrate the complexity of the differential diagnosis and the means of management with a brief review of recent literature.
