Abstract

Ameloblastic fibroma are rare mixed tumors composed by both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. They mostly affect the posterior mandibular sector in young adults. Here we report an atypical case affecting a very young patient in an unusual localization. We describe the management of the case and discuss the origin of this little know lesion.

Keywords: Ameloblastic fibroma; Maxillary; Mixed tumor.
