El fibroodontoma amelobl芍stico (FOA) es un tumor odontog谷nico benigno poco frecuente, con caracter赤sticas generales de fibroma amelobl芍stico, pero con cantidades variables de tejido calcificado. Se encuentra habitualmente asociado a piezas dentarias incluidas y su incidencia es ligeramente mayor en el maxilar inferior. Material y m谷todo. Paciente de 17 a os que consulta por una lesi車n ubicada a nivel del 芍ngulo mandibular derecho, encontrada como hallazgo radiol車gico. Luego de realizar ex芍menes f赤sicos, radiol車gicos e histol車gicos es diagnosticado un FOA, el cual es eliminado quir迆rgicamente. Resultados. A pesar de que el paciente se encontraba dentro del rango de edad y localizaci車n t赤pica de un (FOA), el diagn車stico definitivo se pudo alcanzar solo con el estudio histopatol車gico de la pieza operatoria, posterior a la cirug赤a. Discusi車n. El diagn車stico de FOA frecuentemente puede generar confusi車n tanto desde el punto de vista cl赤nico-radiol車gico como histopatol車gico, este es una entidad dif赤cilmente diferenciable de OCI. Como ocurri車 en este caso, las diferencias pueden ser detectadas a partir de un estudio histopatol車gico. Conclusi車n. FOA es una entidad independiente de un OCI y su diagn車stico depende en gran parte de los hallazgos histol車gicos, y de la correlaci車n cl赤nico- radiol車gica realizada al momento de enfrentar esta patolog赤a. Introduction. Fibrous Ameloblastic Odontoma (FAO) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor whose characteristics are generally similar to those of an ameloblastic fibroma except that that it has varying amounts of calcified tissue. It is usually found associated with compacted teeth and its incidence is slightly more common in the inferior maxilla. Materials and Methods. 17-yearold patient goes to the doctor because of a lesion located near the right mandible angle, found in an X-ray. After performing a physical exam, histological tests and taking images it was diagnosed as FAO and then surgically removed. Results. Although the patient fell into the typical age range and they FAO was located in the typical area, the definitive diagnostic could only be decided until after the results of the histological study of the removed tooth were reviewed. Discussion. FAO diagnosis normally creates confusion from both a histological and a clinical radiographic point of view. It is difficult differentiate between FAO and Complex Immature Odontoma (OIC). Like in this case, the differences are detected later when the histological study is complete. Conclusion. FAO is independent from OIC and its diagnostic greatly depends %K Fibroodontoma amelobl芍stico %K Odontoma complejo inmaduro %K Fibrous Ameloblastic Odontoma %K Complex Immature Odontoma %U http://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1130-05582009000500007
