Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor with histologic features similar to that of ameloblastic fibroma, but with inductive changes that lead to the formation of enamel and dentin. Among the odontogenic tumors, the incidence varies from 0.3% to 1.7%, reaching 4.6% when only the cases of children are considered. AFO presents as a painless swelling mostly in the posterior portion of the maxilla or mandible. Radiographs show the radiolucent area containing various amounts of radiopaque material of irregular size and form. This case report describes AFO affecting the 21-year-old woman. The lesion was surgically excised, and no recurrence was observed on follow-up.
