“…Philipsen et al suggested the reduced mean age of AFO, relative arrangement of the soft tissues, and the stage of development of the involved tooth as the key indicative factors of differentiation between ameloblastic fibroma and fibrodentinoma [8, 9]. Predominantly AFO appears hamartomatous while few others appear to have true neoplastic nature [10]. …”

Ameloblastic fibroodontoma is a benign mixed odontogenic neoplasm considered in patients with asymptomatic swelling and unerupted teeth that exhibit histologic features between ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. Radiographically, this lesion appears as radiolucency admixed with focal radio opaque masses of irregular shapes and sizes. This lesion is confirmed by the presence of proliferating odontogenic epithelium, ectomesenchyme, and dental hard tissue formation on pathological analysis supplementing clinical and radiographic findings. As this tumour is less commonly seen in routine clinical practice, ameloblastic fibroodontoma with detailed orofacial features and periodic approach to its diagnosis is discussed. This paper reports a case of ameloblastic fibroodontoma of the mandible in a 6-year-old male patient with an uncommon case presentation and review of the literature.

metimes understated. There always lays a big controversy depicting an entity as hamartoma. Hamartomas are frequently encountered in major organs like liver, lung, pancreas etc. but the occurrence in oral cavity is rare. The lesions enlisted in this review may not be true hamartomas but depicts strong correlation to neoplasms. Understanding the hamartomatous nature of an odontogenic entity will help us understanding the outcome of the treatment and chances of fatality HAMARTOMASHamartomas, which are dysmorphic or morphologically altered proliferation of cells native to the organ in which they arise, gain a certain size before ceasing their proliferation. This type of biologic behavior may be expansile and is locally resorptive of bone but does not invade adjacent tissue. ODONTOGENIC GINGIVAL EPITHELIAL HAMARTOMA (OGEH)There are two important sources that are responsible for the development of the odontogenic group of lesions; cell rests of Serres (remnants of dental lamina) and cell rests of Malassez (remnants of Hertwig epithelial root sheath). These cell rests are found as clusters which upon getting stimulus give rise to pathological entities. The terminology OGEH was initially suggested by Baden et al [1,2] . This lesion has a rare occurrence, prevalent mostly in the middle age group (3 rd to 5 th decade) and most commonly seen in females (M: F-1: 7) [1,2,3] . The lesion present as a slowly growing, recurrent in occurrence in the soft tissues like gingiva and vestibule. ABSTRACTOdontogenic tumour represents as growth and swellings of variedorigin. The histopathological features of hamartomatous odontogenic entities are not very distinct from neoplasms, but they exhibit different biological behavior. The pathobiology of these lesions is so-

“…Clinically, the size of the tumor shows marked variations, ranging from lesions detectable only microscopically, to giant tumors consisting of extensive calcified masses. Radiographs usually show a well-defined radiolucent area containing various amounts of radiopaque material of irregular size and form (2,5). The aim of the current study was to report a clinical case of AFO and the long-term results after surgical treatment.…”

“…Radiographically, the tumor appear well circumscribed, round-to-ovoid radiolucency, surrounded by a thin sclerotic margin (1). According to the recent WHO classification of Odontogenic Tumors published in 2005, AFO is a benign tumor without invasive growth that belongs to the group of lesions with odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without hard tissue formation (2). There is considerable debate in literature regarding the relationship between AFO and other mixed odontogenic tumors.…”
