A hemangiomatous ameloblastoma was present in the third molar region of the left mandible of a 26-year-old woman. The histology and radiologic features of this tumor differed from those of a conventional ameloblastoma. Its histologic features were consistent with those of a hemangiomatous ameloblastoma, and its standard radiologic features and computed tomography mimicked that of fibro-osseous lesions, whereas magnetic resonance imaging suggested a vascular lesion. The behavior and prognosis of the hemangiomatous ameloblastoma are uncertain because of the small number of documented cases and lack of long-term follow-up, but are thought to be similar to those of the conventional type. The relevant clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of this case are presented.
