Background: Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign tumor of odontogenic epithelium much more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than the upper jaw. These tumors are rarely malignant or metastatic and progress slowly, the resulting lesions can cause severe abnormalities of the face and jaw. There are various treatment modalities available, here we present a case of aggressive Ameloblastoma treated by segmental resection of mandible. We have discussed the various treatment modalities suitable for treatment. [Byakodi S NJIRM 2015; 6(5):115-117]
