“…If a young patient presents with findings resembling those of AFO but with less internal calcification and a more multilocular appearance, the possibility of AFD should also be considered. 2 16 Since these lesion types can have distinctly different outcomes, radiologists are advised to include the less common AFD in their differential diagnosis rather than quickly attributing the findings to AFO. Furthermore, particular attention should be paid to cases exhibiting an irregular border, bone expansion, and cortical perforation, as these characteristics may indicate malignant transformation.…”

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor that resembles an ameloblastic fibroma with dysplastic dentin. This report presents a rare case of mandibular AFD with imaging features in a young patient. Panoramic radiography and computed tomography revealed a well-defined lesion with internal septa and calcified foci, causing inferior displacement of the adjacent molars as well as buccolingual cortical thinning and expansion of the posterior mandible. The lesion was surgically removed via mass excision, and the involved tooth was extracted under general anesthesia. During the 5-year follow-up period, no evidence of recurrence was observed. Radiologic features of AFD typically reveal a moderately to well-defined mixed lesion with varying degrees of radiopacity, reflecting the extent of dentin formation. Radiologists should consider AFD in the differential diagnosis when encountering a multilocular lesion with little dense radiopacity, particularly if it is associated with delayed eruption, impaction, or absence of involved teeth, on radiographic images of young patients.
