AMELOBLASTIC FIBRO-ODONTOMA IN A KID -AN IMPOSTOR IN RADIOGRAPHY
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor derived from epithelial and ectomesenchymal elements that form the dental tissues. It occurs as an intraosseous lesion mostly, on the mandibular posterior region, generally asymptomatic and occurs more predominantly in children and in young adults with a male predominance. AFO is found on radiographic evaluation of patients with unerupted or impacted teeth in many cases with a circumscribed radiolucency, which contains radiopaque foci of various sizes and shapes. Histological examination reveals a fibrous soft tissue, islands of odontogenic epithelium, and a disordered mixture of dental tissues. Treatment of AFOs usually consists of enucleation or surgical curettage, which is possible due to their benign biological behaviour. Here, we are reporting a case of AFO in a primary school age boy.
