Abstract

An ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in a 14-year-old girl is reported. The case has clinical interest because o£ the location and the size of the tumor which was surgically enucleated. The different views about clinical, radiographical and histopathological characteristics and the classification of this benign tumor are discussed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the case has been controlled for 3 years without recurrence.

Citation Excerpt :
These include studies by Jing et al62 (4 cases) and Luo and Li63 (12 cases). One hundred thirty-seven publications2,29,31,32,48,60,64-194 reporting on AFOs were included in the present review (215 AFOs, 211 central and 3 peripheral lesions, and 1 lesion for which it was not possible to identify whether it was central or peripheral, although there was enough information to identify it as an AFO). All included cases of AFO showed formation of enamel with or without dentinoid material, mentioned in the text or visible on the photomicrographs, in addition to the presence of AF-like areas.
To integrate the available data published on ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) into a comprehensive analysis of its clinical and radiologic features.
An electronic search was undertaken in August 2016. Eligibility criteria included publications reporting cases of AFD or AFO with enough clinical, radiologic, and histologic information to confirm the diagnosis. Demographic data, lesion site and size, treatment approach, and recurrence were analyzed and compared between AFD and AFO.
Fifty-four publications reporting on 64 AFDs (60 central, 4 peripheral) and 137 publications reporting on 215 AFOs (211 central, 3 peripheral, 1 unknown) were included. The difference in recurrence rate (when the information about recurrence was provided) was not statistically relevant. The mean age of patients affected by AFD was not statistically different from that of patients affected by AFO.
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.

Cell kinetics in mandibular ameloblastic fibro-odontoma evaluated by bromodeoxyuridine and proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunohistochemistry: Case report
1996, British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
A case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in a 10-year-old Japanese male patient is presented. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunohistochemistry were applied to investigate the cell kinetics of this lesion. The tumour proliferation activity was individually evaluated through the labelling index (LI) at the epithelial and mesenchymal components. The LI of BrdU was 0.9% in the epithelial and 2.1% in the mesenchymal component, while the LI of PCNA was 2.2% in the epithelial and 7.7% in the mesenchymal component. These immunohistochemical investigations suggest that the mesenchymal component was more proliferative than the epithelial component. Such an immunohistochemical investigation may be useful in evaluating the proliferative potential of odontogenic tumours.
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the anterior maxilla. Report of a case
1993, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology
The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is an infrequently encountered mixed odontogenic tumor. There has been much discussion in the literature regarding its proper classification. It is characteristically slow growing and asymptomatic, and occurs most commonly in the posterior region. It shows a slight predilection for boys with a mean age of roughly 10 years. A case in a 9-month-old boy of an exophytic, rapidly growing ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the anterior maxilla is reported.
