The Role of Vimentin 3 in Ameloblastomas: A Novel Tumor Biomarker
ABSTRACT Introduction Ameloblastoma (ABL), a common odontogenic tumor in the maxillofacial region, presents primarily as unicystic (U‐ABL) and conventional (C‐ABL) variants. Despite shared epithelial features, their distinct biological behaviors may stem from interactions between connective tissue and epithelial cells.

Mural unicystic ameloblastoma with multifarious histopathological patterns: An exquisite case report
Ameloblastoma is a true benign neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin mostly seen in the mandible. After odontoma, it is the second most commonly seen odontogenic neoplasm.

Keratoameloblastoma of the lower jaw: A rare challenging entity
Ameloblastoma is the second most common benign odontogenic tumor with various histopathologic features. Except for the unicystic type of ameloblastoma, the different microscopic patterns of this tumor show no significant correlation with long-term ...

Molecular markers of cell adhesion in ameloblastomas. An update [PDF]
Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, and though it is of a benign nature, it frequently infiltrates the bone, has a high rate of recurrence and could potentially become malignant. Cellular adhesion potentially plays an

Exploratory Advanced Radiotherapies for Ameloblastoma and Ameloblastic Carcinoma—A Concise Review
ABSTRACT Objective Ameloblastoma is an aggressively growing odontogenic tumor with substantial management challenges and a high recurrence rate. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for ameloblastoma, but adjuvant therapies like radiation have been explored in cases where surgery is not clinically advisable and the tumor is inoperable.

Unveiling Hybrid Ameloblastoma: Uncommon Variant With Unique Diagnostic Challenges
ABSTRACT Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor originating from odontogenic tissue and has various histological subtypes. It accounts for approximately 18% of all odontogenic tumors. Hybrid ameloblastoma represents a combination of histopathological features from both desmoplastic ameloblastoma and conventional ameloblastoma, likely arising from the varying ...

Evaluation of Paxillin Expression in Odontogenic Cysts and Tumors [PDF]
Statement of the Problem: Paxillin (PXN) is one of the proteins involved in cell adhesion. PXN and integrins constitute a key site for the focal adhesion between the cell and extracellular matrix.
