Unusual microscopic changes of Ameloblastic Fibroma and Ameloblastic Fibro-odontoma : a systematic review
2019
Background Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) are uncommon benign mixed odontogenic neoplasms. Although unusual microscopic changes including hybrid tumors have been documented in publications, their clinical outcome prediction and treatment modality selection are still challenging due to scarcity. Objective: Analysis of AF/AFO's unusual microscopic variants in order to improve histopathologic diagnosis and to help clinicians in making informed treatment choices. Material and methods An electronic search was performed in PubMed's database using keywords: "ameloblastic fibroma", "ameloblastic fibroodontoma", "ameloblastic fibro-odontoma". The search scheme was li…
Odontoma intraóseo erupcionado: Una infrecuente patología
2005
Objetivos: Los odontomas que afectan a los tejidos blandos son muy infrecuentes, pudiendo presentarse bajo dos formas clinicas: odontoma periférico y odontoma erupcionado. Se documenta un caso de odontoma erupcionado con el objetivo de discutir entre ambas formas de presentación clínica de esta patología. Diseño del estudio: Estudio de caso. Resultados: Se presenta el caso de un varón con una masa dura localizada en la región posterior del reborde alveolar izquierdo del maxilar superior, de un año de evolución y lento crecimiento. La ortopantomografía mostró la presencia de una tumoración radiodensa en la región posterior del maxilar izquierdo. El estudio histológico de la pieza operatoria …
A large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the right mandible
2007
The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults with no sex predilection and locates most often in the posterior segment of the mandible. A painless swelling is the most common clinical sign. Radiologically, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma shows a circumscribed radiolucency, which contains radio-opaque foci of various sizes and shapes. Histological examination reveals a fibrous soft tissue, islands of odontogenic epithelium and a disordered mixture of dental tissues. The tumor produces enamel or enamel matrix, dentin and cementum. The treatment of ameloblastic fibro-odontomas usually consists of enucleation or surgical cure…
