Most of the times paediatric patients report to the clinics with a chief complaint of decayed teeth, associated with pain and sometimes swellings, which regress after proper treatment. But dentist should be aware of unusual and rare pathologic conditions in children. These conditions sometimes are associated with hidden aggressive nature. These unusual and rare kinds of clinical conditions should also be included in differential diagnosis. Present case shows inadvertent finding of Unicystic Ameloblastoma (UA) in paediatric patient, which was asymptomatic and aggressive in nature. This case report shows diagnosis and surgical management of such type of lesions in paediatric patients.

    This case report shows an unsuspected carious lesion can led to a cystic lesion which may further transformed into a rare, benign tumour i.e., an intraluminal unicystic ameloblastoma. Such type of cases test the clinicians knowledge and treatment protocol options once the diagnosis is confirmed. Thus, areticle suggests an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategy can prevent/decrease the morbidity associated with the same.
