Ameloblastoma is an epithelial odontogenic neoplasm with clinical and histological diversity. They are locally invasive tumors with 3 clinical variants such as solid, unicystic, and peripheral ameloblastomas, and the unicystic variant constitutes only 13%. Histologically, it shows diverse microscopic patterns that may occur isolated or in combination with other patterns. The granular cell variant accounts for 3.5% of all ameloblastoma cases. The eosinophilic granules seen in the cytoplasm of the tumor are thought to be lysosomes and presumably contribute to the pathogenesis of the tumor. Although such a phenomenon is rare in unicystic ameloblastoma, granular cell differentiation in solid multicystic ameloblastoma is a well-established phenomenon. In this paper, we present a unique case of unicystic ameloblastoma with granular cell differentiation with a brief review.

Granular cell variants of cutaneous basal cell tumors from three dogs are described. These tumors resemble a granular cell variant of basal cell tumor (carcinoma) in man. The tumors are characterized by classical basal cells as well as granular cells with numerous cytoplasmic granules. These granules are cytoplasmic vacuoles 0.3 μm to 1.5 μm that seem to be secondary lysosomes; they usually contain many small (42 nm), membrane-bound vesicles. No natural, non-neoplastic counterpart of these granular cells is known to exist in the skin, and the significance of the production and accumulation of the small vesicles is not known. The cytoplasmic granules, and their contents, resemble the granules of granular cell “myoblastoma” although granular basal cells are of epithelial origin.
