Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive epithelial odontogenic neoplasm having different histopathological variants. Granular cell ameloblastoma (GAB) is one of the rare histological variants of ameloblastoma accounting for about 1-5% of cases. It appears to be an aggressive lesion with marked chances of recurrence. Several cases of this type have been reported to be metastasizing and there is marked transformation of the cytoplasm, usually of stellate reticulum-like cells which leads to granular eosinophilic appearance. Here I present three cases of Granular cell ameloblastoma.
