Correct answer: E — Ameloblastoma
The classic histological features of ameloblastoma include follicular and/or plexiform patterns. The follicular pattern shows islands of epithelial cells with peripheral columnar cells resembling ameloblasts with reverse nuclear polarisation (nuclei displaced away from the basement membrane) and central stellate reticulum-like areas. Per the WHO 2017 classification, ameloblastoma types include conventional, unicystic, and peripheral.
