Abstract :

Ameloblastoma is locally invasive, second most common tumor of odontogenic origin. WHO categorized ameloblastomas clinically into solid, cystic (unicystic), desmoplastic and peripheral (extraosseous) variants, of which unicystic accounts for about 13% of all cases. Granular cell change in ameloblastoma though is a recognized phenomenon; its occurrence however is rare in unicystic entity. Here is a unique case of unicystic ameloblastoma exhibiting granular cell differentiation and diverse histopathological presentation, which has perforated the bone and presented as soft tissue growth (peripheral variant).
