Abstract
Odontogenic tumours comprise of those neoplasms that arise from odontogenic cells and are restricted to the jaws whichclinically manifest as swellings intraorally. Ameloblastoma is one of the odontogenic tumours which can be frequently seenaffecting the mandibular third molar regions with an age range of 33 to 44 years. Here we present a case of Ameloblastoma which presented with its “textbook” intraoral presentation and radiographic features along with the unusual finding of single lymph node involvement which can elaborate the differential diagnosis to other tumours including malignant oraggressive transformation of a de novo tumor.
