“…Radiologically, hybrid variants manifest as areas of both radiopacity and radiolucency accompanied by irregular borders. Nevertheless, our case exhibited ill-defined radiolucency with a lattice arrangement of trabeculae, similar to conventional ameloblastoma in the mandible, as previously observed by Rai et al in the anterior maxillae [4]. Histological examination of the current case revealed focused regions of desmoplasia at the borders of the lesion, showing a preponderance of squeezed epithelial islands.…”

“…This adds to the mysterious and confusing nature of this variant. A few researchers have considered it a collision tumor [ 4 ]. Collision tumors, which originate from two distinct sites, are a unique phenomenon.…”

“…This tumor has the potential to emerge at any stage of life; however, its prevalence is known to be highest during the third and fourth decades of life [ 3 ]. Radiologically, it can be discerned that this particular lesion presents itself as a conglomeration of mixed radiopaque and radiolucent materials with well-defined or ill-defined margins, which may exhibit either a unilocular or multilocular appearance, depending on the specific circumstances and characteristics of the lesion [ 4 ].…”

“…In 1987, Waldron and El-Mofty introduced a novel variant of ameloblastoma known as hybrid ameloblastoma. This variant is characterized by an unpredictable combination of histological features of desmoplastic ameloblastoma and conventional ameloblastoma [ 4 ]. This unique variant of ameloblastoma is particularly difficult to diagnose, highlighting the need for further research in this field.…”

Ameloblastoma is one of the most prevalent odontogenic tumors of epithelial origin, with several histological variations. However, among these variants, 'hybrid ameloblastoma' is infrequent and anomalous. The current case study demonstrates the existence of hybrid ameloblastoma in a 27-year-old female patient, which included desmoplastic, follicular, and acanthomatous patterns. The right side of the mandible was affected by tumor growth, with extensive bone involvement and neural invasion, resulting in a loss of sensation on that side. Although the tumor grows at a gradual pace, its enigmatic manifestation highlights the significance of a meticulous diagnosis. The course of treatment involved comprehensive resection of the tumor segment, followed by the recommended reconstructive surgery during the postoperative follow-up period.
