- Abstract
Plexiform ameloblastoma is one of the variant of ameloblastoma, with specific histopathological features. It manifests as unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies in the mandible or maxilla. In very rare cases, it can appear as a localized periradicular radiolucent area and imitate an endodontic lesion. Reported here is a case of plexiform ameloblastoma with a history of traumatic extraction of mobile tooth without taking prior radiograph indicating the importance of following all the protocols before performing any surgical intervention. Surgical enucleation was followed and diagnosis of plexiform ameloblastoma was confirmed on histological grounds.
