Combined granular cell ameloblastoma and plexiform granular cell odontogenic tumour.
Granular cell ameloblastomas are uncommon lesions accounting for about 3-5% of all histologic subtypes of ameloblastoma. The plexiform granular cell odontogenic tumour, on the other hand, is a newly described lesion characterised by a monophasic plexiform pattern of granular cells. This article reports a tumour found occurring in the left mandible of a 67-year-old Indian male which histologically showed features of both the aforementioned lesions.
