Background: Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor that is often asymptomatic and slow-growing. Although it is benign in nature, due to its invasive characters and tendency to recur it is considered as a localized malignant tumour. Procedure: This is a retrospective study that involves 87 confirmed cases of ameloblastoma over 10 years. The case records and biopsy reports were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology, A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences. Results and conclusion: The results revealed that age group between 26-50 years (49.4%) were affected the most, and had a male predilection (58.6%) and maximum involvement of jaw was mandible (88.5%), site involvement was the body of the mandible (52.9%), the radiographic feature was the multicystic type (56.3%), the histopathological variant was follicular (33.3%) and out of the total number of cases analysed 9 cases had recurrence (10.3%). Clinical significance: The purpose of this study is to analyse and evaluate the distribution and frequency of ameloblastoma among various entities such as age group, jaw involved, site, histopathological variant, radiographic feature, and recurrence, to promote early diagnosis and treat them effectively
