Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour, with both epithelial and mesenchymal neoplastic proliferation. It occurs most frequently in the posterior region of the mandible, while its occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. They are usually encountered in children, emphasizing it as an important diagnostic consideration. Herein, we report the first case of a bilater...

This paper reports one case, of an ameloblastic fibro-odontosarcoma (AFOS) affecting the mandible, in a 12-year-old girl. This neoplasm is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. To the authors' knowledge this is the fifteenth case of AFOS reported in English. The patient's chief complaint was a swelling in the face for 6 months. An incisional biopsy was performed diagnosing the case as an ameloblastic fi...

BACKGROUND Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor with a mesenchymal component, showing sarcomatous features and epithelial nests resembling ameloblastic fibroma (AF). CASE REPORT We report a case of AFS showing epithelial dysplasia arising in a recurrent AF in the left mandible after 3 years in a 26-year-old man, which is regarded as an uncommon histopathologic f...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon mixed neoplasm of odontogenic origin frequently seen in the second decade of life. It mainly presents as an intrabony lesion but can even occur peripherally. Histologically, our case showed hypercellular areas, an uncommon feature seen in typical AF. Whether this benign lesion is treated by mode of enucleation and curettage or by extensive surgery is sti...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign tumor, it is a true mixed tumor composed of neoplastic epithelium and mesenchymal. This tumor is rare, and it almost arises in the mandible. A 22-years old female patient referred AF in the maxillary was present. The tumor was asymptomatic, except the right facial bulge. The radiograph showed a well-circumscribed neoplasm with several low density cysts invo...

The first description of the rare odontogenic tumor, ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS), was in 1887 [1]. Various terminologies like ameloblastic dentinosarcoma and ameloblastic odontosarcoma were employed in the past to denote these types of lesions, which depended upon the presence of enamel or dentin. In the recent past, multiple authors considered these lesions to be the histological variants ...
