Abstract

Conventional or Solid/ Multicystic Ameloblastomas (SMA) are conventionally treated with resection while Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) is usually treated conservatively.  Mural variety of UA has shown to be more aggressive and behaves similar to conventional ameloblastoma and is therefore advised to be treated aggressively. So treating a mural variety of unicystic ameloblastoma conservatively can lead to recurrence. Recurrence of multilocular ameloblastoma is high as compared to unilocular if treated conservatively. Does this hold true for multilocular unicystic ameloblastoma. Also, do multilocular ameloblastoma show aggressive mural type of lining on histopathology.  We present two cases of multinodular unicystic ameloblastoma and try to correlate if multilocular unicystic ameloblastoma show aggressive histology from literature review.
