| Resumen: | Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate alterations in the EGFR gene and its protein expression for a better understanding of the biologic behavior of ameloblastoma. Study design: Twenty-five samples of ameloblastoma were selected, and dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization assay was performed. The results of the assay and immunohistochemistry reaction for EGFR and Ki67 were associated with clinicopathologic features and recurrence. Results: All analyzed cases presented disomy without any gene polysomy or amplification. With regard to EGFR immunoexpression, 3 cases (12%) were considered negative, and 22 (88%) were positive, of which 13 (52%) were weak and 9 (36%) were strong. All samples presented low positivity for Ki67. There was no association between EGFR expression and clinicopathologic features or recurrence (P > .05). In some cases, EGFR immunoexpression was observed without gene amplification. Conclusions: Ameloblastoma development, progression, or recurrence does not appear to be related to EGFR amplification or polysomy. |
