AMELOBLASTIC FIBROMA OF THE MANDIBLE

Abstract A case of an ameloblastic fibroma in the mandible is presented. The ameloblastic fibroma is a benign neoplasm belonging to the group of mixed odontogenic tumours. Enucleation is the treatment of choice. Recurrence of the tumour is very rare, but follow up is necessary. Fewer than 75 cases are described in the literature. An additional case is presented with radiographic signs of calcification which could not be identified on histopathological examination.
