  • Title: An unusual variant of keratoameloblastoma.
    Author: Norval EJ, Thompson IO, van Wyk CW.
    Journal: J Oral Pathol Med; 1994 Nov; 23(10):465-7. PubMed ID: 7532221.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of ameloblastoma which depicts cystic follicles containing orthokeratin, parakeratin, desquamated epithelium and necrotic material with dystrophic calcification is presented. The presence of ameloblast-like cells confirms the diagnosis of an ameloblastoma. However, certain features resembled those of the keratoameloblastoma and others, less convincively, the papilliferous keratoameloblastoma. The extensive keratinisation in this tumour and in the aforementioned neoplasms raises the question whether they represent variants of the acanthomatous ameloblastoma.
