Abstract
Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is believed to be the rarest variant of ameloblastoma and only has been described in isolated case reports. PA is usually confined to the soft tissues surrounding the supporting tissues of the teeth. Although it manifests nonaggressive behavior and can be treated with complete removal by local surgical excision, long term follow up is mandatory to prevent future recurrence and possible malignant transformation.
