Abstract
The desmoplastic variant of ameloblastoma is a rare, locally invasive, benign tumor of the jaws, typically found in the anterior regions of the maxilla and mandible. This ameloblastoma variant has been described as an intraosseous tumor; to our knowledge, there have been no published cases of a peripheral desmoplastic ameloblastoma. The purpose of this case report is to describe a patient with a desmoplastic ameloblastoma localized to the soft tissue of the palate with no osseous involvement.
