Abstract 

Clinicopathological data were collected for six children with ameloblastoma less than 16 years old. They were all treated initially by conservative surgery and satisfactory results without jaw deformities were finally attained.

Conservative treatment is acceptable initial treatment of ameloblastoma in children who can be followed up in a precise, detailed manner.
