Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumour.
General
- Osteous lesion.
- Usually mandible.[1]
- May arise from an odontogenic cyst,[3] e.g. dentigerous cyst.[4]
- Can be malignant[5] - rare.[6]
Classification
Location:
- Intra-osseous.
- Locally aggressive.
- Peripheral.
- Benign.
Subclassification of intra-osseous type
Histology:
- Solid/multicystic.
- More commonly reoccur.
- Unicystic.
- Unlikely to reoccur.
- Classically found in younger individuals.
Gross
- Mass - usu. mandible or maxilla.[6]
- Mandile most common.
Microscopic
Features:[7]
- Stellate reticulum - star-shaped cells, found in a developing tooth.
- Tall columnar cells.
- Palisaded nuclei with reverse polarization.
- Reverse polarization of nuclei = nuclei distant from the basement membrane/nuclei at pole opposite of basement membrane.
- Palisaded nuclei = picket fence appearance; columnar-shaped nuclei with long axis perpendicular to the basement membrane -- key feature.
- Subnuclear vacuolization.
- Palisaded nuclei with reverse polarization.
- +/-Giant cells.
- +/-Subepithelial hyalinization (eosinophilic acellular amorphous material).
- Seen deep to the basement membrane.
- Variable morphology (see below - morphology).
DDx (nuclear palisading):
Images
Morphology
- Not prognostic.
Morphologic variants:
- Follicular ameloblastoma (classic appearance).
- Plexiform ameloblastoma (does not have prominent palisading).
- Acanthomatous ameloblastoma.
- Desmoplastic ameloblastoma.
- Basaloid ameloblastoma.
