AMELOBLASTOMA
Definition
An epithelial tumor arising
from the odontogenic
apparatus or from cells
with a potentiality for
forming tissues of the
enamel organ.
WHO Defined it as
Unicentric, non functional,
intermittent in growth,
anatomically benign and
clinically persistwww.indiandentalacademy.com

Origin of the ameloblastic cells
1). Odontogenic epithelium
a). Remenants of Dental lamina
b). Reduced enamel epithelium
c). Rests cells of malassez
2). Basal cell layer o overlying surface
epithelium
3). Epithelial lining of odontogenic cyst

Three clinical subtypes
1). Common polycystic Ameloblastoma
(80% of all cases)
2). Unicystic Ameloblastoma (13% of
all cases)
3). Peripheral (Extraosseous)
Ameloblastoma (1% of all cases)

A). Common polycystic ameloblastoma
Also called conventional, Intraosseous ,
Multicystic
Clinical features
Age - 20 to 40yrs
Site - mandible > maxilla
slow growing, painless, bony expansion
initially Tennis ball like consistency
“Egg shell” like cracking
Jaw bone enlargement & parasthesiawww.indiandentalacademy.com

Radiographic features
Round cyst like radiolucency
Honey comb (if small
loculations)
or soap bubble like
consistency(if large
loculations)
Histopathology:
(Vicker’s and Gorlins criteria).
1). Hyperchromatism
2). Palisading cells
3). Vacuolization
4). Hyalinizationwww.indiandentalacademy.com

Histopathological variants
1). Follicular ameloblastoma
2). Plexiform ameloblastoma
3). Plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma
4). Acanthomatous ameloblastoma
5). Papilliferous keratoameloblastoma
6).Granular cell ameloblastoma
7). Desmolytic ameloblastoma
8). Basal cell ameloblastoma
9). Clear cell Ameloblastoma

Follicular
Ameloblastoma
Consists of different
shapes & sizes of
epithelial islands in
the form of epithelial
nests or follicles.
Plexiform
ameloblastoma
Consists of interlacing
strands of odontogenic
epithelial trabeculae

Acanthomatous
Ameloblastoma
central epithelial cells
squamous cell
metaplasia
keratin deposition.
Desmoplastic
Ameloblastoma
Small epithelial islands
widely separated by
dense, scar like fibrous
tissue.

Granular cell
Ameloblastoma
central cells appears
swollen & densely
packed with
eiosinophillic
granules.
Basal cell pattern
Islands of uniform
basaloid cells.

Treatment options
1). Simple Curettage - high
recurrence rate. In mandible, wide
marginal resection leaving compact
bone of lower border intact
provided the lower border is not
involved radiographically
Large tumors invading lower border
of mandible, segment resection
using bone grafts. In maxilla, wide
excision is treatment of choice

left mandible associated with impacted tooth no.
17 (B). Note the aggressive nature of this tumor.
The incisional biopsy showed solid/multicystic
ameloblastoma. www.indiandentalacademy.com

Twenty years of undisturbed growth of a solid/multicystic
ameloblastoma led to significant facial disfigurement
(A), with an impressive radiographic appearance (B). A
segmental resection of the right mandible was
performed(C).

B). UNICYSTIC AMELOBALSTOMA
Definition :

shows ameloblastous differentiation in the
lining.
origin - a). De-novo as a neoplasm
b).result of neoplastic
transformation.

radiolucent area that
surrounds the crown of
an unerupted molar.
3 histopathological
variants.
1). Luminal unicystic
2). Intaluminal
unicystic
3). Mural unicystic

Differential diagnosis
(1). Dentigerous cyst
(2). Residual cyst
Treatment and prognosis
(1). Enucleation and curettage (recurrence
rate - 10% to 20%) less recurrence as
surrounding fibrous connective tissue
limits the lesion .
(2). If the lesion extends into fibrous cyst
wall Prophylactic measure Local
resection of the area

from bone. Tumor usually comes out
in

A, The patient underwent a segmental resection of
his odontogenic tumor B, As with the ameloblastoma,
specimen radiographs should be obtained when
resecting to verify the bony linear margin. A better
depiction of the “stepladder” pattern of the
odontogenic myxoma is noted on this specimen
radiograph.

Ameloblastic fibroma

patients in the premolar and molar region.
Sharply demarcated radiographic borders.
Microscopically epi. Cells lie in conn. Tissue
stroma. Enucleation and curettage

An enucleation and curettage surgery is

The associated permanent teeth are removed
with the tumor.

Ameloblasticfibro - odontoma
Tumor with features of ameloblastic fibroma
but that also contains enamel and

circumscribed unilocular. Treated by
enucleation.
