Popis: Extraosseous/peripheral Ameloblastoma (EPA) is a rare, benign odontogenic soft tissue tumour with the same histological characteristics as the more common intraosseous subtypes. The EPA appears in the soft tissue of the gingiva and the mucosa of the alveolar process often as unspecified painless swelling. The present case report describes an EPA in the aesthetic area of the left anterior maxilla. Based on the clinical finding the suspected diagnosis of a gingival cyst was made. Firstly, this case should highlight the importance of a proper histopathologic evaluation whenever a biopsy is performed. Furthermore, this report should illustrate a step-by-step procedure from the surgical re-excision of the EPA with a safetymargin to the healing phase to the aesthetic satisfying rehabilitation by using periodontal plastic surgery.
