Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor with histologic characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. As with ameloblastic fibroma, it may be asymptomatic or found because of painless swelling and delayed eruption of associated tooth. This report presents a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the posterior mandible of a 14-year-old girl and analyses its clinical features and radiographic features on plain X-ray film and CT images.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma(AFO) is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. It is composed of connective tissue characteristic of an ameloblastic fibroma and calcified tissue as a complex or compound odontoma. AFO usually presents itself as an asymptomatic swelling of jaw or failure of tooth eruption. The lesion usually occurs in individual less than 30 years old. The differential diagnosis of this tumor includes odontoma, ameloblastoma, and ameloblastic fibroma. This report describes an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma occurring in maxilla of sixteen-year-old female. The lesion was treated by surgical enucleation and curettage without extraction of the involved canine(#23). This patient has shown no sign of recurrence during postoperative 34 months. So we report our case with review of literatures

법랑모세포 섬유치아종(Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma)은 하악 구치부에 호발하는 드문 혼합 치성종양이다. 방사선적 소견으로는 경계가 명확하고, 대부분에서 방사선 투과상과 불규칙적인 크기와 형태의 불투과상이 혼재된 양상으로 관찰된다. 조직학적으로 법랑모세포 섬유치아종은 법랑모세포 섬유종의 연조직 성분과 복합성 치아종의 경조직 성분을 모두 가지고 있다. 본 증례의 13세 2개월된 남자 환아는 원광대학교 치과대학 치과병원 소아치과에 하악 좌측 견치의 맹출 지연을 주소로 내원하였다. 맹출을 방해하는 병소를 적출하고 조직 생검한 결과, 법랑모세포섬유치아종으로 진단하였다. 지속적인 예후관찰 중 병소 제거 수개월 후 견치는 정상적으로 맹출하였다.

Carcinomas derived from ameloblastomas have been designated by a variety of terms, including malignant ameloblastoma, ameloblastic carcinoma, metastatic ameloblastoma, and primary intra-alveolar epidermoid carcinoma. The term of ameloblastic carcinoma is differentiated from the term of malignant amelblastoma and is defined as an ameloblastoma in which there is histologic evidence of malignancy in the primary tumor or the recurrent tumor(or metastasis), regardless of whether it has metastasized. The well-documented and adequately followed cases are currently lacking and this report described an instance of ameloblastic carcinoma with good result after treatment and review of literature.

The ameloblastic fibrosarcoma is the malignant counterpart of the ameloblastic fibrosarcoma in which the mesenchymal element has become malignant. Clinically it frequently occurs in the 3rd and 4th decades, and more frequent in the mandible than in the maxilla. Radiographic features are apparent multilocular radiolucency with ill-defined border. The authors experienced two cases of ameloblastic fibrosarcoma of the mandible in a 26-year-old male and a 48-year-old female patients who suffered from pain and swelling on the affected area. And we discussed the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of this disease with a brief review of the literatures.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is an extremely rare odontogenic tumor composed of proliferating ectodermal and mesenchymal components of odontogenic tissue, containing hard tooth structure. It occurs predominantly in children and young adults. The mandibular molar-ramus area is the most frequently observed location, presenting radiographically as a well-circumscribed and radiolucent-radiopaque tumor. A case involving a 24-year-old woman presenting with a large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the posterior mandible is reported. This case is of radiologic interest because two distinct calcification patterns were observed.

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare odontogenic malignant tumor with the histologic features of both ameloblastoma and carcinoma. It occurs more frequently in the mandible than in the maxilla and it may appear de novo or develop from a preexisting ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. Rapidly progressing, painful swelling is the most common symptom, and radiographically, it shows significant bone resorption and cortical perforation. This report described a case of ameloblastic carcinoma in a 45-year-old man who presented with swelling in the left mandible. The lesion showed combined features of benign findings, such as an expansile cortex with a distinct border, and malignant findings, such as a large exophytic mass with frank bone resorption. Excisional biopsy was performed and a final diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma was made.

사기질모세포 암종은 악골에 발생하는 치원성 악성 종양으로 매우 드물게 보고되고 있다. 양성질환의 임상양상을 보이기도 하지만 악골 및 주변조직을 침범해 궤양 형태를 보일 수 있으므로 보통은 조직검사를 통해서 진단이 내려진다. 이런 이유로 수술 절제가 충분치 못할 수 있어 국소재발이나 원격전이의 위험에 노출되게 되므로, 수술 후의 보조적 치료 또는 재절제가 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 저자들은, 하악에서 발생한 사기질모세포 암종의 환자에서 일차 수술 후 충분한 절제연을 얻지 못해 재발한 부위에 대해 재수술 후 재발 위험부위에 대한 보조적 방사선치료를 시행한 증례를 토대로, 최근의 문헌고찰을 통해 사기질모세포 암종 환자에서의 수술 후 방사선치료의 역할에 대해서 의견을 제시해 보고자 한다.

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a malignant form of ameloblastoma defined by histological evidence of malignancy in primary, recurrent, or metastatic tumor. Such a tumor is rare, and the maxilla is an unusual site. Due to its rarity, the characteristics of this tumor in the maxilla have not been well described. Case 1: A 55-year-old, ill-appearing Nigerian male presented to our center with left maxillary swelling of seven-year duration. The swelling had been slow-growing and painless until one year prior, when the growth became rapid and was coupled with severe pain. The swelling affected both oral function and facial esthetics, and the patient reported difficulty breathing. There was a maxillary, ulcerated swelling extending from teeth 12 to 18 and blocking the left nostril. The involved teeth were moderately mobile. Case 2: A 32-year-old male farmer presented with recurrent right maxillary swelling of six-year duration. Prior to this episode, he had undergone surgery for ameloblastoma (follicular type). The present swelling was fungating through the skin and protruding into the right nostril. Ameloblastic carcinoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor that requires aggressive surgical treatment.

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma(AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor presented as painful swelling and intraosseous mass with occasional ulceration. The most frequent site is the mandible body. AFS of the jaw generally occurs in all ages($3{\sim}83$ years old), with the average age of 27.3. AFS was associated with high local recurrence rate of 37% in the areas of gingiva, floor of mouth and neck. Although metastasis is not a special feature of this lesion, 20% have died within 3 months to 19 years, due to locally aggressive tumor growth. This report describes an ameloblastic fibrosarcoma occurring in the mandible of a twenty-five year old male. The tumor was treated by partial mandibulectomy and reconstructed with a fibular flap. The patient has shown no signs of recurrence or complications during 18 months postoperatively. In this study, we report our case with a review of literatures.
