Sumario:Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) differs from conventional ameloblastoma by presenting in the younger population with a lower recurrence rate and has a unilocular appearance on radiograph mimicking dentigerous cysts. Among the three variants of UA, the mural variant has a tendency to recur. Here we present a case of mural variant of UA in a pediatric patient treated conservatively with enucleation followed by application of Carnoy’s solution to the cystic cavity. The aim of this case report is to emphasize conservative management in the treatment of UA in pediatric patients considering growth and development in children.
