Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma located in the maxilla of a 3-year-old girl

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign tumor which contributes to 1–3% of all odontogenic tumors. AFO is mainly localized in the posterior region of the mandible and typical patients are children who present to their dentists due to non-erupting teeth. We describe an unusual example of a large AFO located in the upper right maxilla and maxillary sinus of a 3-year-old girl. The aims of this case report are to strengthen the knowledge of and to stimulate the discussion about AFO and to point out, that a conservative surgical procedure with regular follow up is highly recommended.
