Granular cell — Peripheral ameloblastoma: a rare variant

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic tumor exhibiting diverse microscopic pattern that occurs singly or in combination with other patterns. This article describes a case of granular cell ameloblastoma (GCA) involving mandible in a 55-year-old male. The possibility of granular component is there in other odontogenic and nonodontogenic lesions. Sometimes dilemma exists in the diagnosis of such lesions. The purpose of this article is to unveil the hidden characteristics in GCA, which might help in differential diagnosis of GCA.

Peripheral ameloblastoma is a relatively uncommon neoplasm of odontogenic origin histologically resembles the classic ameloblastoma and derived from epithelial and/or mesenchymal elements being part of the tooth forming apparatus. It can be originated in the soft tissue of oral cavity namely alveolar mucosa or gingiva. Among histopathological pattern the most common is acanthomatous followed by plexiform and follicular. Granular cell ameloblastoma once considered as the most aggressive variant of ameloblastoma but according to the recent studies it is believed that the earlier belief was a myth. We report a case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 44 year old lady, histopathologicaly showing combined features of granular cell, plexiform, acanthomatous, follicular and desmoplastic ameloblastoma. As per our best knowledge this is the first case of its type.

Keratoameloblastoma is an exceptionally rare subtype of ameloblastoma that has been reported <20 times previously in the literature. All present as intraosseous lesions. We report an unusual case of keratoameloblastoma localized in the palate without involving palatal bone, thus presenting as a peripheral lesion. To the best knowledge of the authors, no case of peripheral keratoameloblastoma has been reported in the English literature till now, probably rendering this case to be the first one. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present a rare and the first case of peripheral keratoameloblastoma with histopathological features of this tumor.
