This case report details an ameloblastic fibroma in a 4-year-old Nigerian girl. Unusual multilocular radiolucency and extensive bone erosion were noted, with curettage recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic tumor.
  • It typically occurs in the posterior jaws of children and young adults.
  • This tumor presents a diagnostic challenge due to its variable clinical and histological presentation.

Observation:

  • A rare case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 4-year-old Nigerian female child is presented.
  • The tumor exhibited unusual multilocular radiolucency on radiography, differing from the typical unilocular appearance.
  • Significant bone erosion was a prominent feature in this case.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma.
  • Radiographic findings were atypical, showing multilocular lucency and extensive bone destruction.

  • The clinical presentation highlighted the aggressive nature of this benign tumor.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering ameloblastic fibroma in pediatric jaw lesions.
    • Atypical radiographic features necessitate thorough investigation and histological confirmation.
    • Surgical management via curettage, followed by diligent follow-up, is crucial for optimal outcomes and preventing recurrence.
