Oral Oncol. 1997 Nov;33(6):444-6. doi: 10.1016/s0964-1955(97)00046-8.

Abstract

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare odontogenic tumour. It affects young people and is usually located in the posterior jaws. Two cases of this tumour are presented: both lesions had produced an asymptomatic swelling. The histology showed the presence of an odontogenic epithelium immersed in a fibrous mesenchyme; dental hard tissues were also present. No recurrences were found after 12 and 4 years from the surgical enucleation of the tumour.
