Objective: To analyze the clinicopathology of ameloblastoma and its relationship with recurrence.Methods: We included 80 patients with a clinicopathological diagnosis of ameloblastoma in our hospital from Febru-ary 2016 to August 2019

followed up them for 5 months

and then analyzed the relationship between pathologicaltypes and recurrence rate. Results: All the 80 patients completed surgical pathological diagnosis

with 42 cases（52.50%） of conventional type and 38 cases（47.50%） of unicystic type. The age of patients with conventional amelo-blastoma was significantly older than that of patients with unicystic ameloblastoma（t = 13.904

P

0.001）. The pa-tients with conventional ameloblastoma had a significantly longer disease duration than those with unicystic type（t =24.137

P

P = 0.024）. Among the 42 cases of conventional ameloblastoma

there were 14 cases（33.33%） with follicular subtype and 28 cases（66.67%） with plexiform subtype. At 5 months of follow-up

there wasno significant difference in the recurrence rate between patients with follicular subtype and plexiform subtype（71.43% vs 64.29%

P = 0.643）. Conclusion: The recurrence rate is significantly higher in convention-al ameloblastoma than in unicystic ameloblastoma

while it shows no significant difference between the follicularsubtype and plexiform subtype of conventional ameloblastoma. Unicystic ameloblastoma mainly affects adolescentsand exhibits a relatively short course of disease.
