Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare odontogenic malignancy with benign epithelial and malignant ectomesenchymal components. About 66 cases have been reported in the medical literature. We therefore report an additional case as well as a review of literature to add to the existing knowledge on this rare lesion.

Introduction: The prognosis of metastatic ameloblastoma (METAM), now defined as a benign tumor, and malignant odontogenic tumors (MOT) is poorly studied in the literature. The aim of this study was to determine the prognosis and factors influencing the survival of these patients.
Material And Methods: Using the SEER database, we retrieved clinical data of patients with malignant tumors of dental origin between 1975 and 2020.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions, namely ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO), span a spectrum from true neoplasms to hamartomas. The 2017 World Health Organization classification proposes that AFD and AFO are precursors to odontomas, yet their precise nature remains uncertain. This study examined 19 AF cases, 4 AFD, 15 AFO, 19 odontomas (OD, 14 complex, 5 compound), and 2 ameloblastic fibrosarcomas (AFS), focusing on clinical characteristics, recurrence, and molecular profiles.

Background: Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor, commonly occurring in young adults and typically affecting the mandibular region. We report an exceptionally rare and highly atypical case of AFS in an elderly female patient originating from the maxillary bone.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old woman was admitted with a two-week history of a lump in her left upper molar.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic tumor. This was previously grouped in odontogenic tumor showing odontogenic epithelium with odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with or without hard tissue formation. This report describes a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 37-yearold male who came with the complain of swelling in the left side of lower jaw since one year.

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is considered a malignant progression resulting from dysplastic changes in an ameloblastic fibroma (AF). Both tumors are extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the scientific literature. Notably, BRAF mutations have been identified in ameloblastomas, suggesting a connection between ameloblastic morphology and BRAF mutations, as AF is believed to be the precursor neoplasm leading to AFS.
