Abstract
Ameloblastomas are predominantly benign, intra-osseous odontogenic tumors and mucosal involvement
is a rare secondary phenomenon, occurring only after a long period of intra-osseous growth and bone
expansion. This article presents a case report of an eleven year old male patient with a large
plexiform ameloblastoma which invaded the soft tissues, presented as an exophytic growth in the
mandibular anterior region with radiographic feature of a large unilocular radiolucenc y and
displaced mandibular left central incisor. The management comprised of surgical removal of
ameloblastoma under local anesthesia along with extraction of displaced mandibular left central
incisor.
