description Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is a rare variant of ameloblastoma, and less than 170 patients have been reported in the literature. The present case deserves special importance because of its rare occurrence, unfamiliar appearance, potentially aggressive nature, and high chances of misdiagnosis. Moreover, the radiographic features of this lesion rarely point towards ameloblastoma. Desmoplastic variant of ameloblastoma tends to infiltrate between bone trabeculae. The risk of recurrence is high. This report is an attempt to help the dental community in developing familiarity with the clinical presentation and at the same time advocating to develop a high index of suspicion in recognizing such cases.
