An unusual case of a very large Ameloblastic fibroma
Keywords:
Ameloblastic fibroma, Odontogenic tumor
Abstract
Ameloblastic fibroma is usually seen in children and teenagers. It is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor; it is found predominantly in children and therefore is an important diagnostic consideration. A female patient of age 13 years reported to the hospital with complaint of mass in her mouth since two years. The microscopic examination revealed strands and buds of ameloblastic epithelium embedded in cellular neoplastic fibrous stroma suggesting of ameloblastic fibroma. The case of ameloblastic fibroma is being reported for its unusual presentation which involved two third of mandible. The high recurrence rate of the tumor emphasizes the need of early diagnosis; adequate excision and a long term follow up.
