“…The benign odontogenic tumor AFO is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a rare tumor that exclusively affects children at a mean age of 6.3 years, [2][3][4][5][6][7] as in the present case. AFO is not aggressive, so it is not necessary to remove the adjacent oral tissues.…”

“…Furthermore, it was reported that the malignant transformation of AF is rare. 5,6 Consensus among the authors on the first-choice treatment for neoplasia is total enucleation. In cases of relapse Note: *indicates small islands of odontogenic epithelium or malignant potential, resection with a wide margin or marginal mandibulectomy is recommended.…”

Introduction: A young boy presented with mandibular swelling at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Hospital Leforte, São Paulo, Brazil. Radiography showed a mixed bone lesion. Computed tomography (CT) findings were compatible with ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO). Case Report: An excisional biopsy was performed under general anesthesia. At the 6-year follow-up, local inflammation and mild exudates were found. Local recurrence of the lesion was observed on CT. Therefore, excision and curettage were performed. No signs of recurrence have been detected to date. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly occurring in the first decade of life, with minimal probability of malignancy. Conclusion: Clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings aid in the diagnosis, and long-term follow-up is necessary as recurrence can develop even after 6 postoperative years.

“…Afecta principalmente a pacientes jóvenes entre la primera y segunda década de la vida, no muestra predilección por género, aunque algunos autores sostienen una leve tendencia hacia el género masculino. 2,4 Clínicamente se presenta con mayor frecuencia en la región mandibular posterior y se caracteriza por ser una lesión asintomática, de tamaño variable y crecimiento lento que genera expansión ósea. La mucosa que lo recubre es normal y presenta escasa tendencia a la infección y usualmente se encuentra asociado a dientes no erupcionados.…”
