Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, it represents 1% of all tumors and cysts of the jaws. It is located in the mandible in 80% of cases and in the maxilla in 20% of cases. The WHO, in its classification of odontogenic tumors in 2017 divides ameloblastoma into 3 groups: unicystic ameloblastoma, peripheral ameloblastoma and conventional (or multicystic) ameloblastoma. The histological types of the latter include: the follicular and the plexiform. The surgical management of these tumors represents a real challenge for the surgeon, who wants to be as conservative as possible. The treatment of ameloblastoma is surgical, enucleation, curettage or interruptive resection are applicable depending on the size and the type of lesion. The objective of this article is to report the diagnostic and therapeutic attitude towards a mandibular plexiform ameloblastoma in a young 29-years-old patient treated in the oral surgery department of the dental consultation and treatment center of Casablanca.
