Background: Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing but locally invasive neoplasm of odontogenic origin involving the mandible (80 %) and maxilla. The study was aimed to establish the relative incidence and provide clinico-pathologic information on the various histological types of ameloblastoma in population of Chhatissgarh. Materials & Methods: Biopsy records of all histologically diagnosed cases of ameloblastoma during the period from 2010 to 1015 were retrieved and analyzed for different varieties of ameloblastomas. Results: Maximum number of cases was seen in mandible followed by maxilla. Male predominance was seen. Solid/ multicystic was maximum followed by unicystic variety. Conclusion: This study provides a baseline data on variants of ameloblastoma as obtained in a Chattisgarh population. Since variants of ameloblastoma differ in biologic behaviour, the data collected in this study provides clinicopathologic information which is of significance to the pathologist and clinician.
