Abstract
The peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a rare, benign, extraosseous
odontogenic soft tissue tumour that is confined to the gingiva or
alveolar mucosa. The PA presents the same histological
characteristics of intraosseous ameloblastoma, although it is less
aggressive than this classical subtype. We report a clinical case of PA
of the alveolar mucosa in the right posterior maxilla, highlighting the
importance of histological examination to the diagnosis.
