The conventional or multicystic solid ameloblastoma is the most common type with the majority of cases affecting the posterior region of the mandible and occurring between the third and fourth decades of life. The present study aims to report a case of multicystic ameloblastoma in which treatment by means of curettage was chosen and no evidence of recurrence was noted over 7 years of follow-up. Although the literature indicates aggressive surgical therapy as the best form of treatment for multicystic ameloblastoma, factors such as the clinical, radiographic and histopathological aspects of the lesion, patient age, postoperative morbidity, possibilities for aesthetic and functional changes must be evaluated together during treatment planning. In some cases, as in the report presented, conservative therapies such as aggressive curettage of the lesion can be effective in the long term, with no recurrence of the lesion and providing quality of life to the patient.
