Abstract:
Ameloblastic fibro odontoma is relatively a rare mixed odontogenic tumor comprising of ameloblastic fibroma and ameloblastic odontoma. This group of lesions represent neoplastic and hamartomatous changes. Data regarding age, sex, and site of occurrence of these lesions have been uniquely described. A case of ameloblastic fibro odontoma in a 17-year-old male involving the left body of the mandible, and its radiographic, clinical symptoms and histological features is described herewith. A conservative surgical approach, including enucleation and mechanical curettage of the surrounding bone was done.
