- Abstract
Ameloblastoma is the secondmost common intraosseousbenign tumour of odontogenic epithelium more commonly appearing in the lower jaw than in the upper jaw. This tumour exhibits a locally aggressive behaviour. The term acanthomatous ameloblastoma refers to extensive squamous metaplasia, often associated with keratin formation occuring in central portions of the epithelial islands of follicular ameloblastoma. Here we present a unique case of verrucous growth of the surface epithelium, in habit associated individual, in which the intraosseous component turned out to be acanthomatous ameloblastoma.
