Table 1.
Ameloblastoma component | |
---|---|
AM-F | Follicles of odontogenic epithelium with peripheral tall columnar ameloblast-like cells with reversal of polarity and central stellate reticulum-like cells in the form of follicles within a mature connective tissue stroma |
AM-P | Odontogenic epithelium infiltrating into a mature connective tissue stroma in the form of interlacing strands or plexuses |
UAM | Cystic lesion having lumen lined by tall columnar cells with hyperchromatic nuclei exhibiting nuclear palisading with reversal of polarity and cytoplasmic vacuolisation (Gorlin-Vickers Criteria)14 |
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour component | |
AOT-S | Sheets/islands/cords/whorling of spindle to ovoid shaped odontogenic epithelial cells |
AOT-D | Duct-like structures lined by epithelial cells with eosinophilic material/cystic space in the lumen |
AOT-R | Rosette-like structures consisting of two layers of low to tall columnar epithelial cells with eosinophilic material/cystic space centrally in the lumen |
Dentinoid material | |
DM | Extracellular homogenous eosinophilic material (dentinoid) |
Other features | |
CC | Presence of clear cells within the tumor islands in AOT component of the lesion. |
GC | Presence of ghost cells within odontogenic epithelial nests/islands in the AOT component or within ameloblastomatous epithelium |
AM = ameloblastoma; UAM = unicystic ameloblastoma; AOT = adenomatoid odontogenic tumour; DM = dentinoid material; CC = clear cells; GC = ghost cells.
