UnlabelledAmeloblastoma is an uncommon benign epithelial neoplasm of odontogenic origin that accounts for about 18% of the odontogenic tumour. It is a slow-growing, locally invasive but rarely metastatic tumour. Extraosseously occurring peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare variant that comprises about 2-10% of all ameloblastoma. We report a case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 43-years old male patient affecting the mandibular canine-premolar region with a histopathological diagnosis of acanthomatous ameloblastoma. This case report emphasises the clinical, radiographic, and histological features of a rare variant that distinguishes it from the other similar appearing lesion on gingiva along with its various treatment modalities.Keywordsameloblastoma; case reports; histopathology; odontogenic tumour.
