Peripheral ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing odontogenic neoplasm prevalent in the mandible. It originates from the odontogenic epithelium and its remnants, and its histological characteristics are identical to those of intraosseous ameloblastoma. It is less aggressive and invasive than its intraosseous variety, with a low recurrence rate. This report vividly portrays a rare case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a young male patient, detailing its clinical and surgical presentation. It effectively underscores the importance of considering peripheral ameloblastoma in the differential diagnosis of exophytic gingival lesions.
