“…Histologically, AF is a true mixed tumor, as it has both mesenchymal and epithelial neoplastic components with no associated calcified tissue [2]. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is defined as a tumor that shares many features with AF but has enamel and dentin in its interior [8].…”

“…It generally occurs in young age due to which it has a very high diagnostic consideration [1]. The most common site of occurrence is mandibular posterior region although it can also arise from maxilla [2]. AF and related lesions are defined by WHO as neoplasms composed of proliferating odontogenic epithelium embedded in a cellular ectomesenchymal tissue that resembles dental papilla, with varying degrees of inductive change and dental hard tissue formation [3].…”

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare tumour of mixed odontogenic origin that can occur either in mandible or maxilla but is most frequently found in the posterior region of mandible. Age of occurrence is generally between first and second decades of life. It is often mistaken for a dentigerous cyst due to presence of an impacted tooth. The diagnosis of AF usually occurs accidentally by routine radiographic examination for an impacted tooth. Histologically it consists of odontogenic ectomesenchyme resembling the dental papilla, epithelium resembling dental lamina and enamel organ without dental hard tissues. There is controversy in the literature as to whether the treatment should be conservative or a radical resection should be done. A conservative treatment strategy, such as enucleation and curettage, is usually sufficient. We describe a case of massive ameloblastic fibroma in a 5-year-old child with an unusual position in maxillary posterior region and without any impacted tooth. Surgical resection of the tumor through Weber Ferguson approach was done under GA with 2 years of follow-up without any recurrence.

We reported two cases of ameloblastic fibroma that were seen in the mandibular posterior region of 14-year-old boy and 20-year-old girl. Lesions were diagnosed by rutine examination and treated with conservative enucleation. Also the patients has still continued to be followed-up closely due to reccurence risk. In this report clinical, radiographical, histopathologic features of the lesions and the relationship between treatment protocol and reccurrence risk are also discussed using the literature knowledge.

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 still a topic of debate. An extensive surgical treatment is suggested as the initial approach due to its high recurrence rate (18%) and the greater chances of recurrent AFs transforming into ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (45%), together with a long-term followup. We report a case of recurrent AF with hypercellular ectomesenchyme which developed a year after its conservative removal. We conclude that in recurrent AF sufficient sections of the pathological specimen are to be taken to rule out any malignant changes that might have begun in focal areas.
