Clinical, radiographic, and histological photographs of our case of plexiform ameloblastoma. (A) Clinical photograph demonstrating a slight swelling at the buccal gingiva of teeth 45, 46, and 47 areas. (B) Panoramic radiograph showing a multilocular radiolucent lesion at the right mandible, extending from tooth 45 to the angle and ascending ramus as well as the external resorption of apical root portions of teeth 45, 46, and 47 and impaction of tooth 48. (C) Hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue section exhibiting anastomosing trabeculae or sheets of ameloblastoma tumor epithelial cells (original magnification, 20×). (D) Anti-CD1a-stained tissue section showing brown-stained Langerhans cells among tumor epithelial cells (original magnification, 20×). (E) Anti-S-100 protein-stained tissue section demonstrating brown-stained Langerhans cells among a sheet of tumor epithelial cells (original magnification, 20×). (F) Anti-S-100 protein-stained tissue section showing brown-stained Langerhans cells in the anastomosing trabeculae of tumor epithelial cells and in the stromal connective tissue of the ameloblastoma (original magnification, 20×).
