| Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma:
a case report |
|
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma
(AFO) is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor consisting of both ectodermal
and mesenchymal components. It occurs predominantly in children
and adolescents, especially in the mandibular posterior region.
Histopathologically,AFO exhibits the combination of ameloblastic
fibromalike tissue and complex odontoma. A case of AFO in a 1-year-old
child was presented. It produced an expansile lesion over the
upper right anterior region and showed typical histopathological
features of AFO. She was treated by enucleation with no recurrence
observed after a follow-up period of 1 year. |
