Unicystic ameloblastoma is a distinguishable entity of ameloblastomas, characterized by slow growth and being relatively locally aggressive. Three histological types are recognized according to the degree of ameloblastomatous epithelial extension, namely, luminal, intraluminal, and mural types. This classification has a direct bearing on their biological behavior, treatment, and prognosis. However, there is difficulty in determining the most appropriate form of treatment for unicystic ameloblastoma. We present a case of unicystic ameloblastoma that occurred in the right posterior mandible of 19-year-old girl, which was enucleated and did not recur after 12-month follow-up.
单囊性成釉细胞瘤是成釉细胞瘤的一种可区分的类型，其特点是生长缓慢且相对具有局部侵袭性。根据成釉细胞瘤上皮扩展程度可识别出三种组织学类型，即腔内型、管内型和壁型。这种分类与它们的生物学行为、治疗和预后直接相关。然而，确定单囊性成釉细胞瘤最合适的治疗形式存在困难。我们报告一例发生在一名19岁女孩右下颌后部的单囊性成釉细胞瘤病例，该肿瘤已被摘除，随访12个月后未复发。
