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.

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.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) and ameloblastoma are types of odontogenic tumors accounting for 1%, and 10% of all the odontogenic tumors. While sharing same odontogenic origin, these tumors are found to exhibit distinct clinicopathological features. In the present study, we present the third hybrid CEOT/Ameloblastoma tumor ever reported.

Article Synopsis
  • Adenoid ameloblastoma (AA) is a rare but locally aggressive benign tumor derived from dental tissue remnants, and it was recently classified as a new type of odontogenic lesion by the WHO in 2022.
  • This tumor behaves more aggressively than similar types, presenting as a painless jaw swelling with a high recurrence rate and local invasiveness, and exhibits unique histopathological features such as a cribriform pattern and differential marker expression.
  • Due to its complex nature and unclear origins, AA requires thorough clinical evaluation and customized treatment approaches to manage recurrence and improve patient outcomes, with the latest research contributing to its understanding post-classification.

Molecular insights into hybrid tumors: Exploring the heterogeneity in plexiform ameloblastoma.

Head of Department of Oral Pathology, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, UP 226003, India. Electronic address:

For many years, odontogenic tumors have been known to present both clinical and histopathological challenges due to their origins in the epithelial, ectomesenchymal, and/or mesenchymal components of tooth-forming tissues. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of both common and rare odontogenic tumors is crucial for their effective study and clinical management. One particularly puzzling tumor is the "plexiform ameloblastoma," a variant of the solid multicystic ameloblastoma.

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic tumor with a benign nature and demonstrates local aggressiveness. It frequently occurs between the third and fifth decades of life, showing significant gender predilection. While typically displaying a benign growth pattern, it tends to invade and sporadically metastasize locally.
