Abstract
Ameloblastoma in Nigerian children and adolescents exhibit some peculiar clinical features: these include the predominance of males, and of the solid multicystic morphologic type. In addition, there is site predilection for the symphysial region of the mandible. Radical surgical resection remains the predominant form of treatment. Therefore, varying degrees of interference with facial growth will be present in these children.
