“…UA, which was first described by Robinson & Martinez in 1977, has a unilocular feature in radiologic examination and a cystic feature histologically. 1,3 The treatment options of UA are radical (resection and reconstruction using a reconstruction plate) or conservative (enucleation, enucleation after application of Carnoy's solution, or enucleation after marsupialization). 1 The outcome of UA is better after conservative treatment compared to other types of ameloblastoma (solid and multicystic).…”

Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm originating from odontogenic epithelium. It is the most common neoplasm in the jaws and is characterized by aggressive behavior and local invasion. Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) has a unilocular feature in radiologic examination and a cystic feature histologically. Decompression and marsupialization are conservative method of treatment of large UA. The purpose of decompression and marsupialization are size reduction of the mass, which makes it easy to handle at total enucleation with protection of nerve damage and facial deformity. Here we report successful conservative treatment of extensive UA using decompression and marsupialization with a review of literatures.

“…A conservative decompression was followed by surgical excision to avoid radical mutilation891011. However, long-term follow-up with an average interval of seven years after the initial treatment is highly recommend, since late recurrences have been noted8910. Cone-beam CT scans acquired at five years of follow-up did not show signs of recurrence.…”

Maxillofacial images must be examined to find pathologies not identified during clinical examination. Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) extending to the mandibular body and ramus was neglected on initial panoramic radiographic examination. After orthodontic therapy, a huge lesion was observed clinically and through imaging exams. After the conservative surgery, no recurrence was observed during five years of follow-up. This case emphasized the need for careful evaluation of patient images focusing on the oral diagnosis before any dental treatment planning, including orthodontic therapy.

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a benign, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm of young age which can develop during the stage of tooth formation and hence its early inception and vast proliferation is not uncommon in this age group, due to which it can grow into a huge lesion causing significant morbidity. Conservative surgical management may be a viable option to reduce morbidity and increase the probability of uneventful secondary healing and bone regeneration in the younger population.
