| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic tumor. This was previously grouped in odontogenic tumor showing odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without hard tissue formation. This report describes a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 37-year- old male who came with the complain of swelling in the left side of lower jaw since one year. Enucleation of the mass followed by reconstruction was done six years back. However, after two years of initial treatment; radiographic findings suggested recurrence. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma. Patient had no clinical and radiographic evidence of recurrence in three and six months’ follow-up. Because of the higher proliferative capacity and malignant degree of the mesenchymal component in the recurrent neoplasm, sarcomatous transformation may occur. Hence, a long term clinical and radiographical follow-up is essential due to its transformation into ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. KEY WORDS Ameloblastic, Benign, Recurrence, Fibroma, Tumors | |
