Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor that is locally infiltrative in bone trabeculae and it affects more individuals in the adult phase. The surgical approach, based on clinical, radiographic and histopathological characteristics, usually consists of complete removal of the lesion. And when this neoplasm is diagnosed in childhood? The expansive nature of this pathology would have what oromiofunctional disorders throughout the child's life? What about the psychosocial behavior? These questions are discussed here through the presentation of a clinical case of a 10 years and 10 months old patient with ameloblastoma addressing the surgical, oromiofunctional and psychological outcomes of the child.
