Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is considered a mixed odontogenic tumor that is characterized by conserved epithelial and ectomesenchymal neoplastic components. AFD is composed of long narrow cords and islands of odontogenic epithelium; the epithelial strands lie in a myxoid cell-rich ectomesenchymal tissue with stellate-shaped fibroblasts that exhibit long slender cytoplasmic extensions that...

BACKGROUND Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor with a mesenchymal component, showing sarcomatous features and epithelial nests resembling ameloblastic fibroma (AF). CASE REPORT We report a case of AFS showing epithelial dysplasia arising in a recurrent AF in the left mandible after 3 years in a 26-year-old man, which is regarded as an uncommon histopathologic f...

The first description of the rare odontogenic tumor, ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS), was in 1887 [1]. Various terminologies like ameloblastic dentinosarcoma and ameloblastic odontosarcoma were employed in the past to denote these types of lesions, which depended upon the presence of enamel or dentin. In the recent past, multiple authors considered these lesions to be the histological variants ...

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) or ameloblastic sarcoma is an extremely rare odontogenic neoplasm. The authors report AFS in the maxillary sinus of a 4-month-old boy. The tumor was composed of odontogenic epithelium, resembling that of ameloblastoma, and a mesenchymal part exhibiting features of fibrosarcoma. We also found some areas with deposition of dentinoid material closely adjacent to the...

Tumours of odontogenic origin have been reported in various domestic animals. Ameloblastic fibroodontomais a rare tumour derived from odontogenic epithelium and pulpal mesenchyme. Plain andformalised sections from masses on the front of the cranial aspect of the jaw and the end of the tongue of acastrated beef cattle from an abattoir was submitted to Mt Pleasant laboratories, Launceston, Austra...

Delayed eruption of a single primary tooth is an uncommon event. Excluding a previous traumatic insult, the presence of a pericoronal odontogenic cyst or neoplasm is the primary cause for this abnormality. This case report describes the clinical and radiographic features of an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in a young child, who presented with delayed eruption of the primary mandibular canine and ...

AIM This is to report a rare case of ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD), including detailed history, histopathologic as well as radiographic findings. Her condition, a mixed odontogenic tumor, has rarely been reported in publications. We also included the gist of theories put forward regarding the histogenesis of this lesion. BACKGROUND AFD is a rare and controversial entity; it boasts a varie...
