AI 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.
Article Abstract
A 19-year-old male patient reported to dental OPD of our institution with a swelling in the posterior part of the mandible on the left side. The patient gave a history of gradual increase in the size of swelling for 7 years. The patient also had a radiograph and histopathology slides from his previous dental visit at another facility. The radiograph revealed a well-circumscribed radiolucency with an impacted tooth (38). Histopathology slides showed features of an ameloblastic fibroma (AF). The patient had deferred the treatment for 5 years since he was young and reported to our OPD due to increase in the size of the swelling over the past few weeks. The present radiographs revealed radiolucency with radiopacity. Excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological examination revealed an Ameloblastic fibro odontoma. This case report is to document and highlight the possible progression of AF to Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma.
