This case series reports seven additional cases of KA, taking the total to 26 reported cases. The identification of subtle histologic features, including focal stellate reticulum-like central areas, subnuclear vacuolisation and lamellated-type central keratinisation, are key in diagnosing KA. The radiologic features will often indicate signs of aggressiveness such as cortical destruction, differentiating KA from OKC. All cases were completely negative for calretinin IHC, limiting its use in distinguishing KA from OKC. Further large series are needed to expand the current understanding of this rare variant of ameloblastoma.
