Ameloblastoma
Diagnosis in short

Ameloblastoma. H&E stain.
LM stellate reticulum (star-shaped cells), tall columnar cells that have palisaded nuclei with reverse polarization, subnuclear vacuolization, +/-giant cells, +/-subepithelial hyalinization (eosinophilic acellular amorphous material)
Subtypes solid/multicystic, unicystic
LM DDx adenomatoid odontogenic tumour, ameloblastic fibroma
Site usu. mandible - see odontogenic tumours and cysts
Prevalence uncommon
Clin. DDx keratocystic odontogenic tumour, odontogenic cysts

Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic cyst.

General

  • Osteous lesion.
  • Usually mandible.[1]
    • In a review of 3677 cases, the mandible-to-maxilla ratio was 5 to 1.[2]
  • May arise from an odontogenic cyst,[3] e.g. dentigerous cyst.[4]
  • Can be malignant[5] - rare.[6]

Classification

Location:

  1. Intra-osseous.
    • Locally aggressive.
  2. Peripheral.
    • Benign.

Subclassification of intra-osseous type

Histology:

  1. Solid/multicystic.
    • More commonly reoccur.
  2. Unicystic.
    • Unlikely to reoccur.
    • Classically found in younger individuals.

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.
  • +/-Giant cells.
  • +/-Subepithelial hyalinization (eosinophilic acellular amorphous material).
    • Seen deep to the basement membrane.
  • Variable morphology (see below - morphology).

DDx (nuclear palisading):

Images

www:

  • Ameloblastoma - low mag. (WC)

  • Ameloblastoma - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Ameloblastoma - high mag. (WC)

  • Ameloblastoma - very high mag. (WC)

Morphology

  • Not prognostic.

Morphologic variants:

  • Follicular ameloblastoma (classic appearance).
  • Plexiform ameloblastoma (does not have prominent palisading).
  • Acanthomatous ameloblastoma.
  • Desmoplastic ameloblastoma.
  • Basaloid ameloblastoma.
