Abstract:

the ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. it occurs predominantly in children and young adults with no sex predilection and locates most often in the posterior segment of the mandible. a painless swelling is the most common clinical sign. radiologically, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma shows a circumscribed radiolucency, which contains radio-opaque foci of various sizes and shapes. histological examination reveals a fibrous soft tissue, islands of odontogenic epithelium and a disordered mixture of dental tissues. the tumor produces enamel or enamel matrix, dentin and cementum. the treatment of ameloblastic fibro-odontomas usually consists of enucleation or surgical curettage, which is possible due to their benign biological behaviour.
