“…In the case reported herein, a delay in consultation is the result of poor socioeconomic conditions, ignorance, the painless character of the lesion, and the lack of experienced specialists in oral surgery. AOF is often asymptomatic and diagnosed as a result of a delayed eruption of one or several permanent teeth (83-91.6% with swelling of the affected area [2,3,5,7,8]. In 29% cases, the discovery of this tumor is incidental on X-rays taken after a delayed eruption of one or several teeth [3], as in the case reported here.…”

--Introduction: Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a benign odontogenic tumor of mixed origin. It is often asymptomatic and can be diagnosed by a delayed eruption of a permanent tooth. AFO is often associated with one or more impacted teeth. Observation: The patient in the reported case was a 20-year-old girl, who consulted us because of pain associated with functional impairment in the left mandibular region for approximately 4 years. Intraoral examination demonstrated bud-like lesion at the location of the missing left lower molars. The computed tomography scan showed intralesional calcifications and dental densities. Enucleation was performed under general anesthesia. Excised tissues included two teeth, with their pericoronal bags, and hundreds of microelements isolated or embedded in membranes. Macroscopic examination showed >400 odontomas, and 28 membranous portions containing other odontomas, apart from permanent teeth. Postoperative recovery was satisfactory. Conclusion: It is an extensive odontogenic tumor often associated with an impacted tooth.

“…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. AF recurrence may not be true recurrence, but rather a residual lesion due to incomplete enucleation.…”

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.

“…for therapeutic reasons. 30,31 Nonetheless, as these entities differ in their relative frequency, location and radiographical presentation, their separation as two distinct entities seems to be justified, regardless of the fact that both types of odontoma are treated conservatively. 9 Cases of odontomas have shown microscopic features of both types; however, clinical data and histological evaluations will, in most cases, lead to a diagnosis of either a complex or compound odontoma.…”

Odontogenic tumours are lesions that occur solely within the oral cavity and are so named because of their origin from the odontogenic (i.e. tooth-forming) apparatus. Odontogenic tumours comprise a variety of lesions ranging from non-neoplastic tissue proliferations to benign or malignant neoplasms. However, controversies exist regarding the pathogenesis, categorisation and clinical and histological variations of these tumours. The recent 2017 World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumours included new entities such as primordial odontogenic tumours, sclerosing odontogenic carcinomas and odontogenic carcinosarcomas, while eliminating several previously included entities like keratocystic odontogenic tumours and calcifying cystic odonogenic tumours. The aim of the present review article was to discuss controversies and recent concepts regarding odontogenic tumours so as to increase understanding of these lesions.
