Peripheral ameloblastoma: case report.
A case of peripheral ameloblastoma, a rare odontogenic tumour, is presented. This tumour appears to differ from endo-osseous ameloblastoma by the absence of local malignancy. It exhibits a less aggressive and destructive behavior and does not invade the underlying bone. Conservative treatment of the tumour is the treatment of choice.
