Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare, slow-growing neoplastic lesion classified as a benign, epithelial mixed odontogenic tumor with odontogenic mesenchyme. This tumor demonstrates the histological features characteristic of both ameloblastic fibromas and complex odontomas. The clinical manifestation of AFO is typically characterized by asymptomatic enlargement of the jawbones. Radiographically, it presents as a distinct radiolucent region, indicating the presence of radiopaque substances with varying degrees of irregularities in size and morphology. Standard therapeutic intervention involves enucleation. Despite its benign nature, AFO can cause significant morbidity if left untreated. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to ensure optimal patient outcomes. The following case report details the clinical presentation and management of an 18-year-old male with an AFO lesion located in the posterior mandible. This particular case was treated with conservative measures involving surgical enucleation.
成釉细胞纤维牙瘤（AFO）是一种罕见的、生长缓慢的肿瘤性病变，归类为良性上皮性混合牙源性肿瘤，伴有牙源性间充质。该肿瘤具有成釉细胞纤维瘤和复合性牙瘤的典型组织学特征。AFO的临床表现通常为颌骨无症状性肿大。在影像学上，它表现为一个明显的透射区，提示存在大小和形态各异的不透射线物质。标准的治疗干预措施是摘除术。尽管AFO本质上是良性的，但如果不治疗，可能会导致严重的发病情况。因此，及时诊断和恰当处理对于确保患者获得最佳预后至关重要。以下病例报告详细介绍了一名18岁男性下颌后部患有AFO病变的临床表现及治疗情况。该特殊病例采用了包括手术摘除在内的保守治疗措施。
