Description
Summary:Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is a rare tumor belonging to a group of lesions referred to as mixed odontogenic tumors. Mixed odontogenic tumors are neoplasms consisting of proliferating odontogenic epithelium embedded in a cellular ectomesenchyme which closely resembles dental papilla and has varying degrees of inductive change and hard tissue formation. These lesions range in biologic behaviors between hamartomas and true neoplasms. This group of lesions includes ameloblastic fibroma, AFD, and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. A rare case of AFD manifesting in the mandible is reported.
