Maxillofacial fibro-osseous lesions are a generic designation of a group of jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of bone by a connective tissue matrix, which displays varying degrees of mineralization in the form of woven bone or of cementum-like structures indistinguishable from “cementicles”.1 These lesions are of particular interest to the maxillofacial radiologist because they emp...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign tumor of mixed odontogenic origin, which affects predominantly young individuals. AF appearing as a mixed radiographic image is very rare. This report describes a case of AF in a 12-year-old male identified during a routine radiographic exam for orthodontic treatment planning. The panoramic radiography revealed a well-defined multilocular mixed image locate...

INTRODUCTION Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor that usually occurs in the fi two decades of life. It affects adolescents and young adults and is found in the mandible and with a high frequency in the posterior region of this segment. There are rare case reports with a long-term follow-up. CASE OUTLINE We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with extensive ameloblasti...

Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which preoperative diagnosis often is difficult. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be representative of Gorlin syndrome.Gorlin syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. To report a case of a young patien...

BACKGROUND Neoplastic lesions of the mammary gland, lymph nodes, or oral cavity in African pygmy hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris) are common in captive animals. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy protocols have not yet been established for the African pygmy hedgehog. Thus, surgical resection is the current treatment of choice in this species. CASE PRESENTATION A 5-year-old male African pygmy hedge...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare tumour of mixed odontogenic origin that can occur either in mandible or maxilla but is most frequently found in the posterior region of mandible. Age of occurrence is generally between first and second decades of life. It is often mistaken for a dentigerous cyst due to presence of an impacted tooth. The diagnosis of AF usually occurs accidentally by routine r...

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...

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC), Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) and aggressive central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) are rare pathologic diseases affecting the jaws. While the Co-existence of two of them is reported in the literature, existence of all three conditions in one patient is an extremely rare entity. In the present report, initial biopsy revealed fibrosarcoma, therefore mandibular...
