Classification

There are three main clinical subtypes of ameloblastoma:

• Unicystic
• Multicystic
• Peripheral

A fourth subtype, malignant, has been considered by some oncologic specialists, however, this form of the tumor is rare and may be simply a manifestation of one of the three main subtypes.
