“…Immunohistochemically, PA showed positive reactivity for AE1/AE3, KL1,34, E12, and MNF116 cytokeratin and negative staining for CK8, CK10, CK13, CK17, and CK18, are in accordance with the observation seen in human enamel organ [15] PA should be differentiated from peripheral reactive lesions such as pyogenic granuloma, epulis, papilloma, fibroma, peripheral giant-cell granuloma, peripheral odontogenic fibroma, peripheral-ossifying fibroma, Baden's odontogenic gingival epithelial hamartoma, and basal cell carcinoma [2]. The current treatment of choice is conservative supra periosteal surgical excision with adequate disease-free margins [2] .…”

Peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a benign, uncommon extraosseous odontogenic soft tissue tumour. Though it has same histological features as that of classical intraosseous ameloblastoma, it is unique in that it has an extraosseous location confined to the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. The authors here report a case report of PA in a 26 year old male with clinical diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma, thereby highlighting the importance of histological examination for the diagnosis of this tumour and also to have a suspicion of PA in the differential diagnosis of nodular lesions of the gingiva and alveolar mucosa

Ameloblastomas, whether central or peripheral, are essentially devoid of CK7, CK8, CK10, CK18, CK20 [4, 6, 7], and epithelial membrane antigen [8].…”

“…The inability to identify, on an ultrastructural basis, the presence of a transitional “preameloblastomatous” zone, either in the altered epithelium or laterally at the junction between altered and normal gingival epithelium, precludes any definitive elusions on matter whether the tumor is derived from the oral mucosa or from remnants of “odontogenic” epithelium within the underlying connective tissue. Ultrastructural features were also similar to central ameloblastoma [5]. …”

Peripheral ameloblastoma, a rare and unusual variant of odontogenic tumour, comprises about 2–10% of all ameloblastomas. The extraosseous location is the peculiar feature of this type of tumour, which is otherwise similar to the classical ameloblastoma. This paper describes a case of peripheral ameloblastoma in a 67-year-old female affecting the lingual alveolar mucosa of the mandibular 32–34 region which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. This paper becomes important due to availability of all data, makeing it a well-documented case.

“…Histopathologically, the continuity of tumor islands with the rete ridges of the surface epithelium has been a significant feature. 2,9,13,14 It has led to speculation about the origin of the lesion. Continuity was demonstrable after multiple sections were examined in three of the cases reported here.…”
