Granular cell ameloblastoma is a rare condition, accounting for 3.5% of all ameloblastoma cases that shows marked transformation in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, which are usually stellate reticulum-like cells. The transformed cells possess very coarse, granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. Granular cell ameloblastoma is aggressive in nature with a marked propensity for recurrence and can progress to metastasis. This article discusses a case report of a 35-year-old female patient diagnosed with granular cell ameloblastoma of the right mandible.
颗粒细胞成釉细胞瘤是一种罕见疾病,占所有成釉细胞瘤病例的3.5%,其肿瘤细胞(通常为星网状样细胞)的细胞质有明显改变。转化后的细胞具有非常粗糙的、嗜酸性颗粒状细胞质。颗粒细胞成釉细胞瘤本质上具有侵袭性,有明显的复发倾向,且可进展为转移。本文讨论了一例35岁女性患者被诊断为右下颌骨颗粒细胞成釉细胞瘤的病例报告。
