    Abstract:
    Peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic soft tissue tumor, derived from epithelial and/or mesenchymal elements being part of the tooth-forming apparatus. The lesion responses for approximately 1% to 5% of all cases of ameloblastoma affecting alveolar mucosa and gingiva occur, mainly, in the middle age. This article describes a case of peripheral ameloblastoma involving a 20-year-old male located in the (upper/lower, vestibular/buccal) gingiva. After the case presentation, clinical and microscopic findings are discussed.
