Odontogenic tumors
Pediatric dentistry

Background:

Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor, predominantly affecting the posterior mandible.
The peripheral variant of ameloblastic fibroma is exceptionally rare, with only eight cases previously documented worldwide.

Observation:

This report presents a unique case of peripheral ameloblastic fibroma in the maxillary gingiva of a 10-year-old child.
The lesion presented as a slow-growing mass.

Findings:

A conservative surgical excision was performed for the peripheral ameloblastic fibroma.
No recurrence of the tumor was noted following the surgical intervention.

Implications:

Peripheral ameloblastic fibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis for slow-growing gingival lesions in children.
Conservative surgical management appears effective in treating this rare peripheral odontogenic tumor.
