Ultrastructure of ameloblastoma and its variants

Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive, slow-growing neoplasm derived from the epithelial odontogenic tissues, which are part of the tooth-forming apparatus. It exhibits microscopic diversity which occurs either in a single pattern or in multiple patterns. There are very few reports available on ultramicroscopy regarding ameloblastoma. This paper aims at discussing and correlating the ultrastructure of ameloblastoma with the histological types for a proper understanding of its pathogenetic mechanism and thereby helping us to diagnose for a better and appropriate patient management.
