In order to ameloblastoma´s cases series, benign tumour of epithelial origin, we will value the histological and radiographic common findings, its frequent symptomatology, and we will estimate the prevalence variation according to the age, gender, lesion localization, etc. In the other hand, we will emphasize the principal risk factors and we will classify the different treatment according to its histology, clinic and type of lesion.
