In this study, we report a tumor that resembled previously reported uncommon tumors histologically similar to ameloblastoma or adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT), showing the formation of hard tissue. We evaluated the histological characteristics by reviewing the literature. The patient was a 19-year old male. The lesion was located from the canine to third molar in the right mandible and was unicystic with a comparatively clear demarcation. The tumor tissue was cystic overall, showing multiple formation of small and large cysts. The tumor tissue resembled a variant form of plexiform ameloblastoma. Formation of dentin and dentinoid was observed in the tumor stroma, whereas formation of enamel was not observed. Very few cases of a variant form of ameloblastoma that shows formation of dentinoid have been reported, and the histological picture in this study closely resembled previously reported "adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid".

Ameloblastoma represents a rare and locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm, notable for its histopathological diversity. Among its subtypes, the desmoplastic and plexiform variants are relatively rare, with the hybrid form, encompassing both architectural patterns, representing an even more exceptional entity. This article delineates the clinical, radiological, and histopathological profile of a 45-year-old male presenting with pain persisting over the past month in the right posterior maxillary region.

Pulmonary metastasis of ameloblastoma is a rare associated with the histopathologically plexiform types of ameloblastoma. In this report, we present an exceptionally rare case of pulmonary metastatic ameloblastoma without local recurrence, emerging 12 years post-initial resection. A female patient, initially diagnosed with mandibular desmoplastic ameloblastoma, revealed masses in both lung fields of the lung on chest radiography, while chest computed tomography revealed more than 10 nodules in both lungs.

Amyloid-producing ameloblastomas (APAs) are a histological variant of ameloblastoma in which the neoplastic odontogenic epithelial cells are associated with the production of amyloid. This jaw-associated entity has been only rarely described in animals and purportedly does not exist in humans. This report is the first description of an APA in a primate.

Ameloblastoma, One of the most Common and Frequently Encountered Odontogenic Epithelial Derived Tumours of the oral Cavity, are Reported to be Represented by Variable Number of Clinical, Radiological and Histological Types. Also, this Lesion has been Observed to be most Aggressive and has a Tendency to Recur in most Circumstances. The Histological Variants of Solid type of Ameloblastoma have also been Observed to Occur either in Isolation or in Combination with One or the Other Lesions.

Ameloblastoma is a true benign odontogenic epithelial tumor, primarily arising in the jaw, and ranks as the second most prevalent odontogenic neoplasm following odontoma. Known for its diverse clinical, radiographic, and histological manifestations, ameloblastoma encompasses a wide spectrum of presentations. Unicystic ameloblastomas (UAs), a less common and generally less aggressive variant, appear as cystic lesions that can mimic ordinary jaw cysts in their clinical and radiologic features.
