Ameloblastoma is a locally invasive tumor derived from odontogenic epithelium. An uncommon variant of ameloblastoma is granular cell type, which cannot distinguish from other ameloblastoma subtypes by clinical and radiographic findings alone. Only review of it's microscopic features allows distinction from other subtypes. The purpose of this article is to present a case of granular cell ameloblastoma. This subtype should be distinguished from the other histopathologic subtypes because of it's higher recurrence rate and more aggressive biological behavior. Radiographic and histologic findings as well as treatment are also discussed.

“…It was defined by Robinson as "unicentric, nonfunctional, intermittent in growth, anatomically benign and clinically persistent" tumor [1]. It is a locally invasive tumor accounting for 11% among odontogenic tumors in Caucasians [2]. Histologically, plexiform and follicular variants are the two chief patterns, and when certain changes like granular transformation and squamous metaplasia may be noted, they are referred to as granular cell and acanthomatous variants, respectively [3].…”

Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic neoplasm with clinical and histological diversity. They are locally invasive tumors with 3 clinical variants such as solid, unicystic, and peripheral ameloblastomas, and the unicystic variant constitutes only 13%. Histologically, it shows diverse microscopic patterns that may occur isolated or in combination with other patterns. The granular cell variant accounts for 3.5% of all ameloblastoma cases. The eosinophilic granules seen in the cytoplasm of the tumor are thought to be lysosomes and presumably contribute to the pathogenesis of the tumor. Although such a phenomenon is rare in unicystic ameloblastoma, granular cell differentiation in solid multicystic ameloblastoma is a well-established phenomenon. In this paper, we present a unique case of unicystic ameloblastoma with granular cell differentiation with a brief review.

“…Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth forming apparatus. [ 1 ] Ameloblastoma is well recognized as a locally invasive benign neoplasm thought to arise from the cellular components of the enamel organ. It is an epithelial odontogenic tumor of jaw that exhibits diverse microscopic patterns and occurs either singly or in combination with other patterns.…”
