A Rare Case of Peripheral Ameloblastic Fibroma: Case Report

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon mixed benign odontogenic tumor that usually presents in the first two decades of life with no predilection for sex or race. It can present either peripherally or centrally with a majority of the cases presenting in the posterior mandible. Although it usually presents in posterior mandible, we present a case of a peripheral AF in the maxillary anterior gingiva, which has been described rarely in literature. Described are the clinical, radiographic and histologic features and the subsequent surgical treatment for this lesion.
