Ameloblastoma is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium. It is a tumour of intermediate malignant potential which lies in the gray zone between benign and malignant neoplasm. A huge ameloblastoma revealing benign cytological features in FNAC is being reported.Ameloblastoma arises from odontogenic epithelium. This tumor can occur at any age. Though traditionally divided as solid and cystic, nearly all ameloblatomas show some cystic change. This tumor shows invasive property and a remarkable tendency of recurrence. The cases showing distant metastasis are recognized as malignant ameloblastoma. Ameloblastic carcinoma is a tumor with microscopic features of ameloblastoma that displays malignant features at cytological level.([2]) It usually has aggressive course. A case of large ameloblastoma with slow clinical course and benign cytological as well as histological features is being reported.

Introduction: Marsupialization is a dependable choice for mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) management. However, investigations regarding its speed of shrinkage (SS) and reduction rate (RR) are lacking. This case report highlights the treatment of a huge mandibular UA with high SS and RR using marsupialization before secondary surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Ameloblastoma is a benign jaw tumor that can grow significantly and has a high chance of coming back after treatment.
- Large tumors like these make surgical removal and reconstruction more difficult.
- This case discusses a massive mandibular ameloblastoma that was successfully treated using a 3D printed model to aid in the surgery.

Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive neoplasm with varied histological patterns. The histomorphologic variants of ameloblastoma bear no prognostic or biologic behavioral significance with possible exceptions of desmoplastic and hemangioameloblastoma. The present paper aims at reporting a case of 38-year-old male with a huge lesion present in the mandibular symphysial region crossing the midline, histopathologically showing hemangiomatous component in follicular and plexiform ameloblastoma along with spindle cell differentiation in the ameloblastic follicles.
