Historical Perspective
Ameloblastoma was first described by Broca in 1868 and has been called adamantinoma, adamantoblastoma, epithelial odontoma, and a multilocular cyst. Ameloblastoma originates from the early English word ‘amel’, meaning enamel and the Greek word ‘blastos’, meaning germ. It was recognized in 1827 by Cusack. This type of odontogenic neoplasm was designated as an adamantinoma in 1885 by the French physician Louis-Charles Malassez. This tumor was previously called adamantinoma. But, this term is considered inaccurate now and is not to be used. It was finally renamed to the modern name ameloblastoma in 1930 by Ivey and Churchill.[1][2]
