Abstract
Ameloblastoma is the most common tumor of odontogenic origin. It is more common in the mandible than
in the maxilla. It often presents as a slow growing, painless swelling. There is often delay in its diagnosis
because of its slow growing nature. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of jaw lesions is a rapid and
non-invasive procedure for the initial evaluation of these lesions. It provides helpful information about them
and avoids hasty and unnecessary surgical biopsy. Here we present a case of ameloblastoma diagnosed
by fine needle aspiration cytology.
