A 24-year-old male patient presented with swelling both outside and inside the body and ramus of the right mandible, accompanied by paresthesia of the right mental nerve that had persisted for 5 years. A panoramic X-ray examination revealed a lobulated osteolytic lesion, affecting the condyle to the region of the right first premolar. An incisional biopsy was conducted, and the anatomopathological diagnosis confirmed a solid odontogenic ameloblastoma. Subsequently, the patient underwent tumor resection, followed by immediate reconstruction using a microvascularized fibula graft. As of the 3-year postoperative follow-up, the patient has exhibited satisfactory aesthetics and function, with no indications of lesion recurrence. He is currently awaiting the rehabilitation process with dental implants. The utilization of microsurgical bone grafts has proven to be an effective approach for restoring extensive bone defects, ultimately enhancing the patient's quality of life and reintegrating them into society.
