Ultrastructural and histochemical studies of granular-cell ameloblastoma. 1984

M Nasu, and M Takagi, and H Yamamoto

Four cases of granular-cell ameloblastoma were studied by light and electron microscopy, histochemistry and electron enzyme histochemistry. Microscopically, granular cells commonly occurred in a follicular pattern, but, in one case, they were in a plexiform pattern. The high activity of acid phosphatase and electron microscopic features revealed that the cytoplasmic granularity was ascribed to the high content of lysosomes. It was speculated that granular-cell ameloblastoma occurs due to the altered dysfunction of tumor cells, and the age factor is related to the pathogenesis of this tumor.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008339	Mandibular Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the MANDIBLE.	Mandibular Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Mandibular,Neoplasms, Mandibular
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009284	Naphthols	Naphthalene derivatives carrying one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups at any ring position. They are often used in dyes and pigments, as antioxidants for rubber, fats, and oils, as insecticides, in pharmaceuticals, and in numerous other applications.
