| Abstract: |
Ameloblastoma, a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor, has an intriguing feature by virtue of its diverse histopathologic variants. One such variant that is not yet acclimatized in the literature due to the paucity of cases is "hemangiomatous ameloblastoma" (HA). HA exhibits the histology of conventional ameloblastoma with marked vascularity, which resembles the enamel organ and dental sac. Herein, we present the case of a 33-year-old male patient with swelling of the lower left back region of the jaw for 6 months, which on imaging presented multilocular radiolucency. Incisional biopsy was suggestive of ameloblastoma, and an excisional procedure showed odontogenic epithelial islands with marked vascular proliferation, based on which the diagnosis of HA was rendered. The rarity of this histologic variant and lack of long-term follow-up records in the literature challenges the clinician to predict its biological behavior. Hence, further research is required to understand the same. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
