Ameloblastoma or adamantinoma is the rarest of the three forms of tumor of the 
odontogenic type. They are benign, locally aggressive neoplasms arising from 
ameloblasts, which typically occur at the angle of the mandible, and are often 
associated with an un-erupted tooth and must, therefore, be differentiated from 
a dentigerous cyst which will be centered on the crown. When in the maxilla 
(less common), they are located in the premolar region, and can extend up in the 
maxillary sinus. Ameloblastoma is reported to constitute about 1-3% of tumors 
and cysts of the jaws. The tumor is by far more common in the mandible than in 
the maxilla and shows predilection for various parts of the mandible in 
different racial groups. The relative frequency of the mandible to maxilla is 
reported as varying from 80-20% to 99-1%. Here, we are representing a case of 
ameloblastoma of anterior mandible which was considered as a rare site of 
occurrence.
