“…The literature describes it as a slow growing tumor that rarely leads to metastasis, but may spread and cause destruction of the cortical bone, as well as invading the surrounding soft tissue, causing pain, facial asymmetry, dysphonia and dysgeusia, malocclusion, root resorption, pathological migration and paresthesia 3 . Unicystic ameloblastoma was first described in 1977.…”

The unicystic ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that is frequently found in young patients and usually affects the posterior region of the mandible. This paper aimed to describe a case report and 7-year follow-up of a young patient. The 12-year-old patient presented with increased volume in the lower third of the right hemiface with a duration of 6 months. Radiographic examination showed a unilocular radiolucent lesion extending along the body, angle and right mandibular ramus. An incisional biopsy was performed and a histological diagnosis of luminal unicystic ameloblastoma was obtained, opting for a conservative treatment with decompression and subsequent complete enucleation of the lesion. The patient has been under follow-up for 7 years, with a good evolution of the condition and without clinical and radiographic signs of recurrence of the lesion. Thus, it is ratified that timely conservative intervention and conservative surgical treatment should be the first choice for ameloblastoma management in young patients.

“…Histologically, multicystic ameloblastomas can be classified in follicular plexiform, acanthomatous, granular, baseloid and desmoplastic cells. The unicistics can be classified in intraluminal, mural and extramural (Neville 2011;González-González et al, 2020), the mural variant tending to repeat itself (Marimuthu et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of odontogenic epithelium that mainly affects the gnathic bones and, due to its invasive and expansive growth, presents high rates of recurrence to surgical treatment. Among the most conservative treatments are enucleation and marsupialization; among radicals, resections are more widespread. Objective: The objective is to present, through a case report, conservative surgical treatment with enucleation followed by the use of the Carnoy solution. Case report: A 24-year-old male patient arrives at the outpatient clinic of Hospital da Restauração with painful complaints of mild and constant intensity in the region of the left mandibular angle, with an evolution of three weeks. After a panoramic X-ray, the presence of the included 38 tooth was associated with an extensive unilocular radiolucent lesion, surrounding the angle and mandibular ramus. Preoperative examinations were performed for incisional biopsy. Histopathological diagnosis was unicystic ameloblastoma. In view of the histopathology obtained, we opted for enucleation of the lesion with concomitant use of direct Carnoy solution in the region of the lesion. Discussion: The choice of therapeutic behavior depends on the size, type of lesion, location and histopathology. After the surgical decision, a radiographic clinical follow-up is necessary to assess possible recurrences. Carnoy's solution is a cauterizing agent with moderate tissue penetration, rapid local fixation and hemostatic action, whose surgical use in cystic lesions has occurred since the beginning of the 20th century. Conclusion: Conservative treatment with the enucleation technique followed by complementary therapy using Carnoy's solution proved to be quite effective.
