Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 19-year-old male who complained of hair in the oral cavity since 2 months. He had a slow growing mass in the mandible for the past 7 years. A biopsy was conducted on the patient and he was later diagnosed with ameloblastoma. He later complained of hair growth in the grafted site after the surgery. It notes that ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumors, which accounts for only 1% of all oral tumors.
