title: Ameloblastoma of the mandible: a case report.
abstract: This report describes the case of a 60-year-old male who presented with a radiolucent lesion between his mandibular right premolars. The original radiographic diagnosis was a lateral periodontal cyst, but surgery produced biopsy material that proved to be an ameloblastoma. A discussion on developing a differential diagnosis is presented.
