Background: Unicystic Ameloblastoma is a variant of ameloblastoma characterized by its cystic presentation, primarily affecting younger patients. This report presents a case of a 20-year-old female diagnosed with unicystic ameloblastoma.Case Presentation: The patient presented with a swelling in the rigt mandibular posterior region, which had gradually increased in size in a span of 9 months. Radiographical examination revealed a well-defined radiolucency.. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma, showing a cystic cavity lined by a stratified squamous epithelium with focal areas of ameloblast-like cells. Discussion: Unicystic ameloblastoma is often associated with a favorable prognosis compared to its solid counterpart. The treatment involved segmental resection of the mandible with load-bearing reconstruction plates. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management in young patients to minimize complications. Conclusion: Unicystic ameloblastoma should be considered in differential diagnoses for cystic jaw lesions in young adults. A thorough clinical and histological evaluation is crucial for effective management and positive outcomes. Further studies are needed to better understand the biological behavior and recurrence rates of this variant.
