Maxillary unicystic ameloblastoma: a case report

Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor arising from the mine organs and fibrous stroma epithelium. It is seen between the ages of 20-50. The lesion does not show any gender discrimination. On radiological examination of a 10-year-old male patient who applied our clinic with a complaint of swelling in the premolar region of the left maxilla, a unilocular and radiolucent lesion was detected. Under local anesthesia, the lesion was enucleated. Histopathologic examination revealed unicystic ameloblastoma. A complete clinical and radiographic improvement was achieved after the operation. The patient did not recur after 6 months
