Description
The X- ray shows a sharply demarcated clearing. Adenoameloblastoma is small (1-3 cm) and very fibrous. In the section we see a whitish-gray tissue containing one or more cysts with a yellowish jelly-like content. The presence of epithelial structures that resemble glandular alveoli is characteristic.
