Brief Answer:
There is no HistoPathology report attached here..

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome back to HCM,

Well I've reviewed the attached report but please note that, it is not the Histopathology report.

It is the Surgical Pathology report which is just mentioning the type of specimen (i.e. excised cyst), and the gross examination (with the bare eye) findings which is leveled it as Ameloblastoma (which,by definition, is a Benign, locally aggressive tumor (25 - 35% recur) of odontogenic epithelium, BUT there are certain malignant varieties of a conventional multicystic Ameloblastoma i.e. metastasizing ameloblastoma)..

So as you see, for confirmation whether it's malignant/benign, the detailed Histopathology report (under Microscopy) is required.

Hope this answers your query..
