Abstract
Abstract:Ameloblastoma is the most common clinically significant odontogenic tumor of the gnathic arches. Ameloblastomas show wide morphological spectra and may pose diagnostic difficulties. Ameloblastomas are locally aggressive jaw tumors with a high propensity for recurrence that are believed to arise from remnants of odontogenic epithelium, lining of odontogenic cysts and basal layer of overlying oral mucosa. Of the many types encountered, acanthomatousameloblastoma is a rare variant that possesses distinctive features. This paper reports a rare case of ameloblastoma in 50 year old male patient and its diagnosis using clinical, radiological and histological findings. Keywords:Acanthomatousameloblastoma, squamous metaplasia.
