A Case Report of Peripheral –Type Ameloblastic Fibrodentinoma and a Review
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is a rare benign tumor usually interpreted as a neoplasm similar to ameloblastic fibroma (AF), characterized by formation of dysplastic dentin on histopathological diagnosis. Peripheral –type ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma (PAFD) is exceedingly rare, with all previously reported cases involving young patients. We here report a case of PAFD occurring in upper gingiva of an 11-year old male child, which was surgically incised.
