Description
The central or intraosseous ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumours. The tumour is locally invasive and destructive to bone but metastasis has not been reported. Ameloblastomas are usually slow growing. The tumours have been reported to occur in dogs and cattle and occasionally in cats and horses.
Diagnosis
The histological appearance of an ameloblastoma is a follicular arrangement of ameloblasts and stellate reticulum cells. There may be occasional keratinisation.
