The term "Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is defined as an ameloblastoma in which there is histological evidence of malignancy in the primary tumour or the recurrent tumour regardless of metastasis" The frequency of malignant behaviour in ameloblastoma is difficult to determine but probably occurs in far less than 1% of all ameloblastomas. This article discusses a case report which was documented as an ameloblastic carcinoma with histological variations that were observed under special stains and immunohistochemical stains. This also proves that an ameloblastoma shows a spectrum of histological and biological behaviour ranging from benignity at one end to frank malignancy at the other end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
