Study Notes
Ameloblastic Fibroma
- Benign mixed odontogenic neoplasm
- Consists of neoplastic odontogenic epithelium in actively proliferating connective tissue resembling tooth follicle or dental papilla.
- Average age of onset is 14 years.
- Commonly located in the mandibular molar area.
- Painless and slow-growing lesion.
- Causes slight buccal and lingual cortical expansion.
- Radiographic appearance: unilocular or multilocular radiolucent areas, resembling ameloblastoma.
- Histological features: Thin strands and cords of odontogenic epithelium.
- Epithelial component includes peripheral cuboidal or columnar cells enclosing stellate cells.
- Resembles the dental lamina.
- Connective tissue is composed of embryonic, proliferating fibroblastic cells with minimal collagen.
- Often exhibits zones of hyalinization, especially juxta-epithelial hyalinization, surrounding the epithelial component.
