Abstract
Two cases of ameloblastic carcinoma of the jaws are reported, Histopat hologically, the lesions showed cytologic features of malignancy in ad dition to classical ameloblastoma patterns and were therefore document ed as examples of ameloblastic carcinoma. The negative cytokeratin exp ression by the malignant cells on histochemical analysis is notably di fferent from that normally observed in classical ameloblastomas.
