Abstract :
Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal origin, accounting for approximately 2% of all odontogenic tumors. It commonly affects children and adolescents, with a strong predilection for the posterior mandible and typically presents within the first two decades of life. This report presents a case of a 3-year-old male child who was brought to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology by his parents with a chief complaint of a slow-growing, painless swelling in the mandible. Based on clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma was established. The lesion was surgically enucleated and kept on regular follow up.
