Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is an extremely rare benign hybrid odontogenic tumor (OT), occurring in the early stages of life. AFO normally presents as a painless swelling in the posterior of mandible or maxilla with mixed radiological appearance within well-defined borders. The treatment of this entity includes enucleation of the tumor and long-term follow up.
This article reports the first case of an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma to be reported in a moroccan military medical institution and reviews the literature regarding the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of this neoplasm.
