Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaws that commonly occurs in 2nd
and 3rd decade of life. In fact, this entity is rare in children under 12 years of age. It is characterised as a distinct
variant of ameloblastoma, exhibiting a less aggressive behaviour and a lower rate of recurrence than solid conventional
ameloblastoma. There are very few reported cases of UA occurring in children below five years of age. The
purpose of this case report is to describe a case of UA involving the crown of an unerupted maxillary second premolar
in a 3 year old girl. The pathogenesis, clinical appearance, radiographic presentation, histological findings
and management of the tumour have also been discussed. |
