Abstract Unicystic ameloblastoma is a unique type accounting for 5% to 22% of all ameloblastomas. It is usually seen in females during the second – third decade, with a predilection for posterior mandible. Unusual occurrence of ameloblastoma during pregnancy has been discussed in the literature, with only 3 reported cases till date. The first case was reported in 1957. Here we present a case report of a 31 year old female who was diagnosed with unicystic ameloblastoma on right mandibular anterior region, within 1 month post partum, along with a review of the related literature. Keywords: unicystic ameloblastoma, pregnancy, odontogenic tumors. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
