Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare, asymptomatic, benign, mixed odontogenic tumor that typically affects individuals in the 1st-2nd decades of life, with a predilection for the mandible. Surgical removal is conservative, and the prognosis is generally favorable. We present a case of AFO in an 8-year-old male who sought dental care due to an asymptomatic lesion surrounding tooth 47, which exhibited delayed eruption. Imaging examinations revealed a well-defined radiolucent lesion with small calcifications around the crown of tooth 47. Clinical examination identified a rounded, normochromic, irregular, firm lesion measuring 25 mm in the region of the right retromolar triangle. Initial diagnostic hypotheses included calcifying odontogenic cyst and dentigerous cyst. An aspiration puncture yielded no evident liquid content, and subsequently, an excisional biopsy of the fibrous capsule was performed while maintaining the tooth. The histopathological diagnosis confirmed AFO. The patient has been followed up for six months without evidence of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
