Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium. It is a tumour of intermediate malignant potential which lies in the gray zone between benign and malignant neoplasm. A huge ameloblastoma revealing benign cytological features in FNAC is being reported.Ameloblastoma arises from odontogenic epithelium. This tumor can occur at any age. Though traditionally divided as solid and cystic, nearly all ameloblatomas show some cystic change. This tumor shows invasive property and a remarkable tendency of recurrence. The cases showing distant metastasis are recognized as malignant ameloblastoma. Ameloblastic carcinoma is a tumor with microscopic features of ameloblastoma that displays malignant features at cytological level.([2]) It usually has aggressive course. A case of large ameloblastoma with slow clinical course and benign cytological as well as histological features is being reported.
