Ameloblastic Fibro-Dentinoma of Mandible: A Case Report

Ameloblastic fibroma and related lesions constitute a group of lesions, which range in biologic behaviour from true neoplasms to hamartomas. This group of lesions is also sometimes referred to as mixed odontogenic tumors and usually includes ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibrodentinoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. Despite numerous efforts however, there is still considerable confusion concerning the nature and interrelationship of these mixed odontogenic tumors and related lesions. The malignant counterpart of these lesions namely aameloblastic fibrosarcoma, ameloblastic dentinosarcoma and ameloblastic odontosarcoma respectively are said to arise secondarily in their benign counterpart or de novo. Recurrence of the benign lesion raises the risk towards malignant transformation therefore a radical surgery should be planned inspite of enucleation or curettage. Here we present a case of an aggressive ameloblastic fibrodentinoma which was radically excised in the light of clinical and histological presentation followed by reconstruction of mandible.

“…Radiographically, AFD shows a well circumscribed radiolucent area containing variable amounts of radiopaque material making it virtually indistinguishable from a developing odontoma, therefore careful consideration must be given to the location and age of the patient [8]. According to the World Health organization, AFO is included, along with AF and ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD), in the group of tumours of Odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without dental hard tissue formation [9].…”

AFD and AFO presented several similarities: higher prevalence in men and in the mandibles, similar mean age of patients, rate of cortical bone perforation and of the lesions' association with displaced or unerupted teeth and tooth root resorption, mean lesion size, and recurrence rate. The lesions differed in the presence of radiopacities and locularity. Taken together, these data do not support the concept of progressive maturation of these tumoral conditions.
