Unicystic ameloblastoma of the maxilla: A case report
A 26-year-old male was referred to our hospital complaining of an asymptomatic swelling of the left posterior maxilla. The patient's dental history indicated that his left maxillary third molar had been extracted approximately three years previously. At presentation, radiography demonstrated a well-defined 3.5 cm diameter radiolucency of the left maxilla. The lesion was enucleated and histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma, plexiform type (type 3b). (Accepted on November 17, 2008)
