Ameloblastoma are the benign, locally aggressive, slow growing solid or cystic neoplasms of the jaws containing odontogenic epithelium in a connective tissue stroma. Their polymorphous nature is reflected by the diversity of known histological patterns of presentation. The hemangiomatous ameloblastoma is the less commonly encountered histological pattern of ameloblastoma with increased vascularity. The presence of ameloblastoma in the maxillary area is rare entity, and the hemangiomatous variation of unicystic ameloblastoma in the anterior maxillary region has never been recorded in the literature. Authors hereby, present a case of a 22-year-old man who complained of swelling in the upper front tooth region with buccal cortical expansion and wispy trabeculation. This study is noteworthy since, it is the first to reveal the hemangiomatous type of unicystic ameloblastoma in the maxillary anterior region.
