Abstract :This study reports a case of an ameloblastoma in the posterior region of the right mandible in a 38-year-old female patient. The diagnosis was made after needle aspiration biopsy and resection treatment was planned. The resected mandible was constructed via osteofaciocutaneous free fibular flap. Today, this treatment option is considered the gold standard and in the present case, treatment results were favorable.
