Abstract
This report describes an atypical case of canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) with mucinous glandular differentiation in a 12-year-old male Chihuahua with a right mandibular mass. Initially diagnosed as CAA by biopsy, computed tomography revealed bone lysis, prompting surgical excision. Histological examination showed lobular growth with two distinct neoplastic cell populations: typical CAA-like cells and a minor glandular structure population. Mucinous glandular differentiation in CAA is undocumented in veterinary literature. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 in all tumor cells, and cytokeratin CAM5.2 and Alcian blue staining confirmed glandular cells and mucin. A low mitotic and K-i67 proliferation index suggested low-grade malignancy. This rare case highlights the need for comprehensive histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis to distinguish CAA from other oral tumors.
期刊介绍：
JVMS is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of papers on veterinary science from basic research to applied science and clinical research. JVMS is published monthly and consists of twelve issues per year. Papers are from the areas of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, internal medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, theriogenology, avian disease, public health, ethology, and laboratory animal science. Although JVMS has played a role in publishing the scientific achievements of Japanese researchers and clinicians for many years, it now also accepts papers submitted from all over the world.
