Ameloblastoma. Typical
presentation. There is a
rounded, bony
swelling of the posterior
alveolar bone, body and
angle of the mandible.
There is no ulceration, a
feature only seen in very
large tumours which
have perforated the cortex.
Macroscopic appearances :
- Solid or cystic or both together.
- Traversed by bony ridges.
6
Microscopic appearances:
-Different histological patterns are seen under microscope.
-The epithelium forming this neoplasm resembles that epithelium
which forms the enamel organ.
- The fibrous stroma surrounding this epithelium vary in both
quantity & cellularity ( not neoplastic one).
- In most cases the stroma is collagenous with few cells while in
other cases , the stroma may be abundantly cellular .
Two main histological patterns are commonly seen in
ameloblastoma.
1- Follicular
2- Plexiform.
Follicular Ameloblastoma: In this patterns , the odontogenic
epithelium takes the form of discrete islands separated from each
other by variable C.T. stoma ( non - neoplastic C.T.).
Ameloblastoma. This
ameloblastoma forms a
monolocular radiolucency
enveloping the crown of an
unerupted tooth. The radiological
appearance mimics a
dendgerous cyst, reinforcing the
maxim that ameloblastoma
should be considered in the
differential diagnosis of every
radiolucency at the angle of the
mandible.
Variants :
1-Solid form : Typical follicle consists of :
9
3) Acanthomatous form :
- Areas of squamous metaplasia may be found ( so high recurrency &
may turn malignant).
10
11
12
The peripheral cells become cuboidal rather than columnar & central
cells become more compact. It cab be mistaken from basal cell
carcinoma .
6) Hyalinized C.T. stroma :
The stroma around epithelial masses undergo hyalinization to involve a
zone of about ( 30 microns) immediately adjacent to epithelial follicle.
This zone is due hyaline degeneration of collagen fibers. This zone does
not calcify ( i.e. remain eosinophilic. This zone is not diagnostic for
ameloblastoma.
7) Desmoplastic ameloblastoma : ( low recurrency)
The C.T. stroma is usually consisted of a cellular loose C.T. but in some
cases it becomes more collagenous with small follicles of epithelium.
Plexiform Ameloblastoma :
- In this variant , the tumour epithelium is arranged in the form
of irregular intercommunicating anastomosing strands but not in
the form of discrete islands as in follicular variant.
I) The arrangement of cells of these strands is the same as that
of follicular AB i.e. they are bounded by a layer of columnar or
13
14
- Cystic cavity lined by tumour cells which are flattened ( non descript
epithelial cells & no ameloblast like cells).
- Unicystic plexiform ameloblastoma differs from the solid types in the
following : Low recurrence rate , so , treated without safety margin ( just
enucleation).
Histogenesis of ameloblastoma :
Several origins have been proposed as the origin of ameloblastoma .
1) Basal layer of oral epithelium : Due to :
A- Since few cases arises in soft tissue basal layer is suggested to be
the origin.
B- Basal cell ameloblastoma resemble basal cell carcinoma.
2) Dental lamina or it is remnants : because
A- few cases a rise in soft tissue ( rests of Serres are present in gingiva).
B- Different in histological patterns suggest the different pontencially of
dental lamina . Arise at any age.
Ameloblastoma, plexiform
type. There are thin, interlacing
strands of epithelium but
typical ameloblasts are not
seen.

Squamous metaplasia in an
ameloblastoma. Stellate
reticulum- like cells have
undergone squamous
metaplasia to form keratin.
Ameloblastoma. Islands of
follicular ameloblastoma
comprising
stellate reticulum and a
peripheral layer of elongated
ameloblast-like cells.
Ameloblastoma. Plexiform
ameloblastoma composed of
interconnecting strands of
epithelium surrounding islands
of connective tissue. Several of
the stromal islands have
degenerated to form small
cystic cavities.
Diagnosis of Ab :
1- biopsy for histological examination.
2- X- Ray .

Radiographic picture :
- Irregular radiolucent area with radiopaque areas of variable size
usually related to the crown of unerupted tooth.

Histopathology : The lesion is not capsulated , two types of cells are found :
I) Epithelium like cells : Arranged in strands or sheets or duct like structure.
II) Lymphocyte like cells :
32
- darkly stained.
- May be small cells with dense rounded nucleus or may be larger
with larger nucleus showing fine chromatin.
- Lymphocyte like cells may be found inside duct like structure of
epithelial like cell.
* Sometimes , other type of cells is also present we can find small collection
of polyhedral or stellate cells filled with fine melanin granules.
* The lesion is not capsulated & the margins of the tumour is irregular giving
invasive appearance of that lesion.
* These types of cells are found in well formed C.T. stroma which is
sometimes fibrillated.
Histogenesis : 1) Pigmented lesions are derived from dentritic melanocytes of
neural crest origin . These cells ( melanocytes) are included in dental lamina
& enamel organs.
2) Epithelial like cells may be originate from paradental epith.
