AI Article Synopsis

  • * The tumor is characterized by the presence of large granular cells that appear eosinophilic and granular under a microscope.
  • * The report discusses an atypical case of CGCOT found in a 38-year-old male, detailing its clinical, radiological, pathological features, and the immunohistochemical analysis conducted on the tumor.

Article Abstract

Central granular cell odontogenic tumor (CGCOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor resulting from the jaw bone, especially the mandible or maxilla. It affects women of middle age and usually occurs as a painless swelling of the mandibular premolar-molar area. CGCOT is characterized by the presence of granular cells, which are large, eosinophilic, granular-looking cells found in the tumor tissue. We report an unusual CGCOT in a 38-year-old male patient's mandibular region. We also describe the clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics along with the immunohistochemical investigation of the tumor.

This report describes an atypical case of canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) with mucinous glandular differentiation in a 12-year-old male Chihuahua with a right mandibular mass. Initially diagnosed as CAA by biopsy, computed tomography revealed bone lysis, prompting surgical excision. Histological examination showed lobular growth with two distinct neoplastic cell populations: typical CAA-like cells and a minor glandular structure population.

In light of the lack of reliable molecular markers for odontogenic myxoma (OM), the detection of copy number variation (CNV) may present a more objective method for assessing ambiguous cases. In this study, we employed multiregional microdissection sequencing to integrate morphological features with genomic profiling. This allowed us to reveal the CNV profiles of OM and compare them with dental papilla (DP), dental follicle (DF), and odontogenic fibroma (OF) tissues.
