Abstract

The patient, a 32-year-old woman, was referred to our department with the chief complaint of painless swelling of the left side of her face. Radiological examination showed a unilocular radiolucent area in the left side of the mandible from the ramus to the premolar region. Pathological examination of the biopsy revealed a picture of a cystic ameloblastoma.
The left half of the mandible was resected and was reconstructed with a free vascularized osteocutaneous iliac graft and also with a free greater auricular nerve graft. The result was satisfactory, because the postoperative deformity of the face was minimized.
