Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a non-cancerous epithelial odontogenic tumour. Ameloblastoma constitute 1% of all tumor?s and cysts developing in the jaws. It occurs usually in the third and fourth decade of life and sees in the molar ramus region of the mandible. It can have notable impact on patient morbidity and mortality. In this report we present a large multicystic Ameloblastoma in the left body-ramus region of the mandible in a 25-year-old man. The diagnosis was aided by CT and treated by hemi-mandibulectomy. The reconstruction was done by iliac crest bone.
