Abstract

The treatment of choice of Ameloblastoma is surgical resection which resulting in large jaw defects. The challenge in managing mandibular giant ameloblastoma is in achieving complete excision and reconstruction of the defect. However, conservative non-surgical approach was mentioned in the literature as a useful approach in young patients. The present article reported two cases of conservative treatment of mandibular giant follicular ameloblastoma in young patient to decrease the tumour size and subsequently the resected segment of the mandible and in another inoperable case due to her medical problems. Good results could be achieved in the treatment of large Giant Ameloblastoma using marsupialization in the modern era of more aggressive surgical procedures and reconstructive techniques. Marsupialization revealed to be more advantageous in many respects and is therefore considered a worthwhile procedure to reduce the tumor size before resection and can be used in inoperable cases.
