“…The incidence of ameloblastoma per year is 0.5 cases per million persons globally [3]. According to the proposed WHO (2017) classification, ameloblastoma is classified as conventional, unicystic, peripheral and metastasising types [2]. Ameloblastoma has high recurrence rate due to which opinions regarding the management of ameloblastoma have always been controversial [1,4].…”

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumour with high recurrence rate. The objective of the present study was to evaluate existing literature regarding clinical, radiographic, histopathologic features, treatment, and recurrence rate of ameloblastomas and compare it with features of recurrent ameloblastomas. Materials and methods: A systematic review was done based on the PRISMA statement. Search was performed in “Pubmed” database with search terminology “recurrent ameloblastoma”, “ameloblastoma recurrence” for articles published between 2010 and 2020. Data were extracted from full‐text articles and discussed. Results: Out of 515 articles, 16 articles fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was analysed in two sections. The first with 10 publications assessed features of ameloblastoma in general and their recurrence rate while the second section evaluated features of only recurrent ameloblastomas in 6 publications. There were 234 recurrences in 936 cases with recurrence rate of 23.50%. Male predominance was noted and mandible was commonly affected. Solid/multicystic ameloblastomas formed 74.5% of the tumours and unicystic formed 23.3%. The recurrence rate after conservative treatment was 64.9% and after radical treatment was 12%. Conclusions: The main factors for recurrence were multilocular ameloblastomas, follicular histopathology and conservative treatment.

“…Periphreal ameloblastomas are painless, sessile, firm and granular or pebbly like surfaced exophytic growths and their clinical appearance can be interefered with many different clinical situations like pyogenic granuloma, giant cell granuloma, inflammatory fibrouse hyperplasia related to prosthesis and basal cell carsinoma ( 11 , 9 , 12 ). For this reason usually final diagnosis are made after histopathologic examinations like our case.…”

Background Ameloblastoma is a rare tumor which develops from odontogenic epithelium and its remnants and it occurs in the jaws. Peripheral ameloblastomas are rare and benign extraooseous ameloblastomas which effects soft tissues. This case report declares a peripheral ameloblastoma which is a rare type of ameloblastoma. Material and Methods 34 year old female patient referred with a complaint of a gingival growth at right lower premolar area. A firm and granular surfaced gingival growth with the color of pink and red and having 1.5x1 cm sizes was observed at the mentioned area. With an incision from lower right second incisor tooth to lower right second molar tooth a flap from bone was made and lesion was excised. After then specimen was submitted to histopathologic examination. After clinical, radiological and pathological examinations lesion was described as peripheral ameloblastoma. Results At the control examination after three months of excision there was no recurrence and patieant has no complaint. Conclusions Although reccurens rate of peripheral ameloblastomas are low, long-term follow-ups are suggested Patient was informed about the importance of regular controls for early diagnosis of possible reccurenses and regular controls were made during one year after excision. Key words: Peripheral ameloblastoma, gingiva, gingival hyperplasia, gingival lesion, alveolar mucosa, extraosseous.
