Abstract
Ameloblastoma a benign neoplasm of the maxillofacial region has been divided into various histopathological types by WHO. A more complex and confusing type includes hybrid type, which as the name suggest include more than two variants mostly histopathological. Various authors have reported cases of this type but the exact histopathological features are still unclear and each case that is being reported add to the literature, which further strengthens its histopathological feature. Also, this is a lesion whose clinical and radiographical features are similar to all the variants and a definitive diagnosis is achieved by histopathology only. Here, we present a case of hybrid ameloblastoma with striking and unique histopathological features.
