The objective of this case report was to present the treatment procedure and follow-up on treatment results of 8 years-old boy patient who had ameloblastic fibro-odontoma affecting the mandible. This tumor led to bony expansion and facial asymmetry. The radiograph showed a mixed radiolucent and radiopaque surrounded by radiolucent rim.
