Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a benign, uncommon extraosseous odontogenic soft tissue tumour. Though it has same histological features as that of classical intraosseous ameloblastoma, it is unique in that it has an extraosseous location confined to the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. The authors here report a case report of PA in a 26 year old male with clinical diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma, thereby highlighting the importance of histological examination for the diagnosis of this tumour and also to have a suspicion of PA in the differential diagnosis of nodular lesions of the gingiva and alveolar mucosa 1.
