Article Synopsis
- A 19-year-old male patient presented with a swelling in the left side of his mandible, which he had noticed growing slowly over the past 7 years.
- He had previous dental records showing a radiograph that indicated a well-defined radiolucency associated with an impacted tooth, alongside histopathology confirming an ameloblastic fibroma (AF).
- After a recent increase in swelling, an excisional biopsy was performed that revealed the condition had progressed to an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, highlighting the potential evolution of AF into a more complex lesion.
