AbstractAmeloblastoma is a benign but locally invasive neoplasm derived from odontogenic epithelium. The WHO histological typing of odontogenic tumours classifies ameloblastomas as intra-osseous central, and extra-osseous peripheral types. A total of 50 ameloblastomas in Hong Kong Chinese were received from January 1980 through December 1992 by the Oral Pathology Unit, Department of Pathology, Prince Philip Dental Hospital, Hong Kong. In this study, the authors reviewed the cases and analysed the data. The clinicopathological characteristics and the differences between the classical and unicystic groups are discussed.
