Abstract
Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare odontogenic tumor. Generally, the tumor occurs intraosseously in youth, between 15 and 20 years.
Recently we experienced a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a one and half-year-old girl. A congenital polypoid lesion was located on mandibular alveolus corresponding to second primary molar. The tumor excision was performed with first primary molar under general anesthesia.
Pathologically, the tumor consisted of strands and groups of odontogenic epithelial cells in an immature fibrous tissue background.
The postoperative course has shown no evidence of recurrence for a year and complete erruption of second primary molar has been attained.
