We report a case of desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) in the mandible, which is a rare variant of ameloblastoma. The patient was a female in her 60s who was referred to our department due to a mass in her anterior mandible. Computed tomography (CT) and enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a multifocal soft tissue mass in the mandibular premolars to the maxillary premolars. We performed mandibular marginal resection under general anesthesia and obtained a histopathologic diagnosis of DA. No disease recurrence has been detected in the two and a half years since the surgery.
