Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a benign tumor that displays properties of both ameloblastic fibroma and compound odontoma. Often, AFO presents clinically as a hamartoma or immature odontoma; however, the tumor can also present with progressive growth causing bone destruction and significant deformity, acting more like a true neoplasm. We report a case of a locally aggressive AFO in the posterior maxilla of a 7-year-old girl and discuss the clinical, radiographic, histopathologic, and conservative therapeutic approach to this locally aggressive tumor.
成釉细胞纤维牙瘤（AFO）是一种良性肿瘤，兼具成釉细胞纤维瘤和复合性牙瘤的特征。通常，AFO在临床上表现为错构瘤或未成熟牙瘤；然而，该肿瘤也可能呈进行性生长，导致骨质破坏和严重畸形，更像是一种真正的肿瘤。我们报告一例7岁女孩上颌后部局部侵袭性AFO病例，并讨论针对这种局部侵袭性肿瘤的临床、影像学、组织病理学及保守治疗方法。
