Abstrakt: Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is a rare variant of ameloblastoma that shows unique features, behavior, and presentation. Earlier it was believed to be less aggressive but this tumor has gained importance, as recent reports suggest increased incidence of destruction and recurrence. It is most commonly confused with fibro-osseous lesions and only histopathological examination helps to establish the final diagnosis. Due to varied clinical and radiographic appearance this lesion can be misdiagnosed, hence its adequate knowledge is imperative for dental health professionals to ensure appropriate management.
