Abstract
Ameloblastic fibroma is an uncommon, benign, mixed odontogenic tumor characterized by the presence of both epithelial and mesenchymal components, without the formation of hard tissue. It constitutes approximately 1.5%-4.5% of all odontogenic tumors and predominantly affects the posterior mandible. Most cases are observed in individuals under 22 years of age, with a slight predilection for males. The initial presentation typically involves a painless, slow-growing mass, often discovered incidentally during routine radiographic examinations. This lesion carries a risk of recurrence and potential for malignant transformation. We present a case of an 8-year-old female child who presented with a painless swelling in the right posterior mandibular region for 6 months, which was histologically characterized by dentinoid formation.
