Fibrodentinoma ameloblástico en un paciente pediátrico. Presentación de un caso

Abstract

The ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is a mixed tumor, composed by odontogenic epithelium that induces odontogenic mesenchyma to form dentine or products similar to dentine. Lesions have been reported in young patients, between the first or second
decade of life, and usually diagnosed before they become 20
years old. Lesions are asymptomatic and with a slow growth
behaviour. Radiographically, it is observed as an unilocular or
multilocular radiolucency with well-defined borders, radiopaque
material could be dispersed troughout the lesion. The treatment
is based on enucleation with fully osseous curettage. The objective of this article is to report the case of a 1-year-old female patient with an ameloblastic fibrodentinoma on the right side of the mandible.
