“…It is a slow growing often asymptomatic lesion and may enlarge to enormous sizes. [4] AFD radiographically shows a fairly well-delineated radiolucency with varying degrees of radiopacity. Developing odontomas and ameloblastic fi bro-odontoma may also present with similar radiographic appearance and distinction may be diffi cult.…”

“…[2] The AFD is one of the rarest, mixed odontogenic neoplasms consisting of neoplastic odontogenic epithelium and mesenchyme with dentin or dentin-like tissue. [3] Only 34 additional cases have been published up to 2012 since the fi rst case reported by Straith, in 1936, according to PubMed search conducted by Umashankara et al [4] AFD is a controversial tumor considering its biological nature and histological diagnosis. It has been suggested that AFD is not a true neoplasm but a hamartoma.…”

“…It is a slow growing often asymptomatic lesion and may enlarge to extreme sizes. [4] According to Philipsen et al, AFD was fi rst described by Straith (1936) under the term dentinoma. Subsequently, it was called as immature dentinoma, ameloblastic fi broma with the dentinoid formation and as fi bro-ameloblastic type of dentinoma by diff erent authors.…”

“…According to the 1992 WHO classifi cation, this tumor is named as "AFD." [3,4] This tumor occurs commonly in the younger age group, below 30 years. Mandible is the most commonly aff ected site when compared to maxilla (maxilla:mandible -1:3).…”

“…[1,3,4] It has been reported that when this tumor is associated with deciduous teeth, it is generally located in the incisor region while those occurring in and around the permanent teeth show a predilection for the molar region. [3,4] Radiographically, it manifests as a mixed radioopaque and radiolucent lesion showing a fairly well-delineated radiolucency with varying degrees of radiopacity owing to the formation of dentin. The recommended treatment of AFD is surgical excision.…”

Ameloblastic fi brodentinoma (AFD) is a rare tumor belonging to a group of lesions referred to as mixed odontogenic tumors. Mixed odontogenic tumors are neoplasms consisting of proliferating odontogenic epithelium embedded in a cellular ectomesenchyme which closely resembles dental papilla and has varying degrees of inductive change and hard tissue formation. These lesions range in biologic behaviors between hamartomas and true neoplasms. This group of lesions includes ameloblastic fi broma, AFD, and ameloblastic fi bro-odontoma. A rare case of AFD manifesting in the mandible is reported.

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is a rare, benign, mixed odontogenic tumor composed of odontogenic epithelium, immature connective tissue and is characterized by the formation of dysplastic dentin. An incidence of 0.1% is reported for this benign odontogenic tumor which indicates the rarity of this lesion. In the present review, a case of ameloblastic fibrodentinoma of the mandible in an african male is presented which was managed by surgical enucleation of the lesion along with the removal of impacted tooth associated with it.

AFD and AFO presented several similarities: higher prevalence in men and in the mandibles, similar mean age of patients, rate of cortical bone perforation and of the lesions' association with displaced or unerupted teeth and tooth root resorption, mean lesion size, and recurrence rate. The lesions differed in the presence of radiopacities and locularity. Taken together, these data do not support the concept of progressive maturation of these tumoral conditions.
