Summary:INTRODUCTIONAmeloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare, benign, asymptomatic tumor. The term ameloblastic fibro-odontoma was first used by Hooker in 1967 as a separate lesion from ameloblastic odontoma. CASE REPORTThis case report describes an eleven years old female with large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the right maxillary sinus.
