Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a benign, mixed odontogenic tumor of epithelial and mesenchymal origin. It is predominantly seen in the younger age group, with delayed or altered eruption of teeth. Being clinically asymptomatic, this is identified incidentally during routine radiographic examination. Although considered to be nonaggressive with minimal tendency for recurrence, AFO requires surgical excision with long-term follow-up. This paper presents a rare case report of an 11-year-old boy, who was provisionally diagnosed with complex odontoma and later turned out to be AFO of the mandible.
成釉细胞纤维牙瘤（AFO）是一种起源于上皮和间充质的良性混合性牙源性肿瘤。它主要见于较年轻的年龄组，伴有牙齿萌出延迟或异常。由于临床上无症状，常在常规影像学检查中偶然发现。尽管AFO被认为侵袭性较小且复发倾向极小，但仍需要手术切除并进行长期随访。本文报告了一例罕见病例，一名11岁男孩，最初被诊断为复合性牙瘤，后来证实为下颌骨成釉细胞纤维牙瘤。
