ABSTRACT
A 14 year-old boy presented to our
department for evaluation of an asymptomatic
swelling in the right vestibular zone.
The panoramic radiograph revealed a
well-defined radiolucent image.
Diagnosis: ameloblastic fibroma.
The ameloblastic fibroma is a benign
tumor composed of odontogenic
epithelium. It ocurs in children and young
adults and is more frequently observed
in the premolar and molar zone of the
mandible, causing cortical expansion. It’s
relatively aggressive and tends to recur.
Radiologically it is manifested by a welldefined radiolucent area. The treatment
is surgical.
