Background: Ameloblastin (AMBN) gene expresses an important protein that acts as a cell adhesion molecule. This protein plays an important role in maintaining the ameloblast secretory stage of differentiation by binding to them and inhibiting their proliferation. Due to the relationship of this protein in the differentiation and proliferation of odontogenic cells, here, we investigated this gen...

Genital origin adenocarcinomas with coexisting uterine adenomatoid tumors are very rare with only four published cases in the literature. We report a case of adenomatoid tumor of the uterus that was found incidentally during treatment of cervical adenocarcinoma. Although adenomatoid tumors may cause a differential diagnostic problem, in our case the hematoxylin-eosin histological and immunhisto...

This review study presents literature and discusses the clinical significance of Adenomatoid Hyperplasia, a commonly misdiagnosed lesion. rare entity has been seldom presented is not well enough described in literature. Only 15 reports with 95 cases could be attained during online search using keywords: Adenomatoid, Tumor, Minor salivary Glands. Data revealed tendency towards male gender. Age d...

A 14-year-old boy reported with a painless swelling over the right anterior mandible with missing right canine tooth. The lesion was diagnosed as 'central follicular adenomatoid odontogenic tumour' and excised surgically under general anaesthesia. The patient was on a year-long clinical and radiographical follow-up.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is always a benign tumor with rare incidence of recurrence while ameloblastoma is the commonest gnathic tumor, which is always aggressive. Although co-occurrence of these lesions has been reported, this paper describes a homogenous combination of atypicalAOT and ameloblastomatous proliferation with some malignant microscopic features. To date, a dozen cases o...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) is a benign, non-invasive odontogenic tumour with slow and sustained growth. It is relatively rare and unusual, and mainly affects females in their second decade of life, exhibiting predilection for the anterior region of the maxilla. The lesion is usually associated with the crown of an enclosed tooth, most commonly the maxillary canine. In this paper, we p...

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. Unicystic ameloblastoma refers to those cystic lesions that show clinical, radiographic or gross features of a mandibular cyst, but on histologic examination show a typical ameloblastomatous epithelium lining part of the cyst cavity with or without luminal and/or mural tumor growth. It accounts for 5 to 15% of all intraosseous a...
