Abstract
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is an uncommon odontogenic tumor. We reported the case of a 2-year-old girl presented with delayed eruption of right maxillary deciduous first incisor. Intraoral examination revealed painless swelling of anterior maxilla. The mucosa was intact. Radiographic findings showed foci of tooth-like structures surrounded by a well-defined radiolucent border. Clinical diagnosis was compound odontoma. The lesion was enucleated under general anesthesia without removal of the primary tooth in the lesion and the specimen was submitted for histopathologic evaluation. The final diagnosis was ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. After 6 years follow-up, there was no recurrence and the right upper central incisor was in normal position.
Besides, the report also discussed the 2017 WHO classification stating that AFO was not an entity but included in odontoma.
