A case of a 14-year-old black girl with a lesion that appeared to be a dentigerous cyst is presented. Radiographic appearance, findings of a bone scan and biopsy by aspiration are discussed. Histologic findings showed that the lesion was an ameloblastoma that is believed to have arisen from the dentigerous cyst wall.
