“…4 Muller et al reported that since 1960, 44% cases of ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (19/43) had arisen from ameloblastic fibroma. 6 A recurrence rate of 43.5% and 18% was reported by Trodahl and Zallen, respectively. Gundlach was of the opinion that simpleenucleation would not be sufficient for ameloblastic fibroma.…”

ABSTRACT:Ameloblastic fibroma is a relatively uncommon benign tumor of mixed odontogenic origin that can occur in either the mandible or the maxilla, but is most frequent in the posterior region of mandible. It usually occur in the first two decades of life and associated with impacted tooth, causing a delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence.This report presents a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 45 year old male who reported with a swelling in the right lower jaw region since 6 months.Segmentalresection of the mandible was carried out and reconstruction was done with iliac crest graft. Long term prognosis showed satisfactory healing and good facial esthetics.

“…While uncommon, the possibility of malignant transformation of AF into ameloblastic fibrosarcoma has been reported by Chen et al (7) and Kobayashi et al (18). For those authors, AF showed no signs of malignancy until the second recurrence.…”

“…Radiographically, the differential diagnosis of the AF must be made with entities such as dentigerous cysts, ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocysts (9) and fibrosarcoma ameloblastic (11,18). Philipsen et al (17) managed AF by enucleation with careful clinical and radiographic follow-up.…”

“…However, tumors may recur following surgical removal and progress to malignancy (7,18,19). Thus, long-term follow-up of AF is recommended (18). This report describes an interesting case of AF that affected the maxilla of a young boy and was associated with an unerupted maxillary left first molar.…”

Maxillary ameloblastic fibroma: a case report

et al. 2011

Ameloblastic fibroma is a relatively rare benign odontogenic tumor in which both the epithelial and ectomesenchymal components are neoplastic. An 8-year-old Caucasian boy was referred to the dentist for evaluation of failed eruption of the maxillary left first molar. The panoramic radiograph showed a well-circumscribed unilocular radiolucency involving an unerupted maxillary left first permanent molar. The lesion was enucleated and the material was sent for histopathologic examination. Microscopically, it was composed by cords and islands of odontogenic epithelium in a myxoid cell-rich stroma that closely resemble the dental papilla with histopathological diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma. After 24 months of follow-up no recurrence was observed and the maxillary left first molar erupted spontaneously through the buccal mucosa and was aligned with a fixed orthodontic appliance. This case emphasized the importance of careful differential diagnosis of intraosseous oral lesions and reported a rarity of the lesion and its atypical location.
