Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a slow growing, locally aggressive neoplasm of enamel organ type tissue with a high propensity for recurrence. They occur either in maxilla or mandible at nearly any age but most frequently are discovered as a painless expansion in the mandible of patients in their 20s – 40s with equal frequencies in male and female. Histopathologically the follicular and plexiform patterns are the most common. When extensive metaplasia associated with keratin formation occurs in central portions of the epithelial islands of follicular ameloblastoma, the term Acanthomatous is applied. Here we present a case of Acanthomatous ameloblastoma in a 40 years old female patient.
