Only 1 case of the unicystic type was seen. Some of the 77 cases presented as a mixture of two or more histological types. Ameloblastoma occurred over an age range of 11 to 70 years with a peak age incidence in the 3<sup>rd </sup>decade.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>This study provides a baseline data on variants of ameloblastoma as obtained in a suburban Nigerian population.
