Abstract

Abstract: Desmoplastic ameloblastoma is defined as locally invasive, intraosseous and a rare variant of ameloblastoma which show slight male predilection with prevalence within the fourth and fifth decades. Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is characterized by specific clinical, imaging, and histological features. We report a case of Desmoplastic ameloblastoma in a 28-year-old male with a painless swelling in the right anterior maxillary region. DA has greater predilection for maxilla with marked tendency for anterior region as compare to other variant of ameloblastoma which creates particular issues like expansion of lesion into maxillary sinus, high recurrence rate and proximity to important anatomical structures demands extra caution in the approach during treatment planning
