Ameloblastic Fibrosarcoma an Uncommon Odontogenic Tumor of Right Maxilla

View through CrossRef
Ameloblastic Fibrosarcoma (AFS) is an uncommon mixed odontogenic tumor composed of a benign epithelial and a malignant ectomesenchymal component. We report a case of a 15 year old female presented with a history of painful swelling over right maxilla of 6 months duration. On examination showed an irregular greyish white solid mass measuring 4.5 x 3.4 cm. On radiograph CT Neck (plain and contrast) showed mass lesion in right maxillary sinus with erosion of its floor and extending into right gingivo-buccal space. Features suggestive of neoplastic pathology. The right subtotal maxillary resection was done. On histopathological evaluation showed an irregular greyish white solid mass measuring 4.1 x 3.4 x 3.3 cm. On cut section showed grey white fleshy tumor. On histopathology reported as ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. We are presenting this extremely rare case for its clinical, radiological and histopathological features.
