Abstract

RÉSUMÉ
L’améloblastome est une tumeur bénigne, localement agressive et connue pour son caractère récidivant. Sa localisation à l’os maxillaire est tout aussi rare et exceptionnelle, que sa survenue chez le sujet d’âge pédiatrique. Les auteurs rapportent un cas d’améloblastome chez un nourrisson de trois mois. Ils font une revue de la littérature en mettant l’accent sur les aspects cliniques, paracliniques, thérapeutiques et pronostiques de l’améloblastome chez l’enfant.
