Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma of the Posterior Mandible: A Rare Pathological Entity

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare, slow-growing neoplastic lesion classified as a benign, epithelial mixed odontogenic tumor with odontogenic mesenchyme. This tumor demonstrates the histological features characteristic of both ameloblastic fibromas and complex odontomas. The clinical manif...

description Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare, slow-growing neoplastic lesion classified as a benign, epithelial mixed odontogenic tumor with odontogenic mesenchyme. This tumor demonstrates the histological features characteristic of both ameloblastic fibromas and complex odontomas. The clinical manifestation of AFO is typically characterized by asymptomatic enlargement of the jawbones. Radiographically, it presents as a distinct radiolucent region, indicating the presence of radiopaque substances with varying degrees of irregularities in size and morphology. Standard therapeutic intervention involves enucleation. Despite its benign nature, AFO can cause significant morbidity if left untreated. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to ensure optimal patient outcomes. The following case report details the clinical presentation and management of an 18-year-old male with an AFO lesion located in the posterior mandible. This particular case was treated with conservative measures involving surgical enucleation.
