The peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is a rare, extraosseous, odontogenic lesion usually located on the mandibular or maxillary gingiva. It often appears as an asymptomatic, firm, pink-red nodule with occasional secondary involvement of the underlying bone. Although histologically identical to primary intraosseous ameloblastoma, the PA is notably less aggressive in biologic behavior and rarely recurs following conservative treatment. It has a proposed dual histogenesis, while its etiology remains obscure. Several benign oral mucosal lesions have been found to be associated with various types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The following study uses a commercially available HPV DNA in situ hybridization technique to confirm the presence of HPV in a previously reported case of PA. Results were positive for HPV types 16/18 but negative for HPV types 6/11. The implications of these results with regard to etiology are discussed.
