Tumor Associated Tissue Eosinophilia in Ameloblastoma

[摘要] Tumor-associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) is characterized by the presence of eosinophils as a component of peri- and intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate. It has been reported in various malignancies like colorectal, breast, ovarian, cervical, naso-pharynx, lungs, gastrointestinal, skin, genitourinary, Hodgkin’s and prostate cancer [1]. In oral cavity, tissue eosinophilia is reported in oral squamous cell carcinoma [2], odontogenic cysts [3] and mucoepidermoid carcinoma [4]. However, TATE has not been reported in any odontogenic tumors till date.
