ABSTRACT

Central ameloblastic fibroma is a benign mixed odontogenic tumor that is usually observed in the posterior mandible and in males. Peripheral ameloblastic fibroma is extremely rare, with only 5 cases reported in the literature published in English as far as is known. The peripheral ameloblastic fibroma should also be included in the differential diagnosis of gingival enlargement. This case report presents a peripheral ameloblastic fibroma in the left maxillary premolar region of a 46-year-old female patient.
