Radiography (London, England : 1995)·2021

A rare ameloblastic fibroma in a 10-year-old boy, initially misdiagnosed as a dentigerous cyst, was surgically removed. Follow-up radiographs confirmed complete bone regeneration in the surgical site after 21 months.

Area of Science:

Odontogenic Tumors
Pediatric Dentistry
Oral Surgery

Background:

A 10-year-old male presented with delayed eruption of mandibular teeth on the right side.
Radiographic examination revealed a large, multilocular radiolucent lesion affecting the canine, premolars, and molar.
Initial clinical diagnosis was dentigerous cyst.

Observation:

The lesion was surgically enucleated via curettage.
Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma.
Post-operative follow-up was conducted for 21 months.

Findings:

The ameloblastic fibroma was successfully treated by surgical enucleation.
Radiographs taken 21 months post-surgery demonstrated complete bone infill of the surgical defect.

No signs of recurrence were observed.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of histopathological confirmation for accurate diagnosis of jaw lesions.
Ameloblastic fibroma, though rare, can occur in the pediatric population.
Complete surgical removal and adequate follow-up can lead to favorable outcomes with bone regeneration.
