Abstract

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare odontogenic ectomesenchymal tumor that is frequently seen in the first two decades of life, and occurs in the mandible. The most proper management of AF has been a recent topic of debate because of its recurrence and malignant transformation. This report describes AF in a 4-year-old male, which was a unilocular radiolucency on the maxillary right primary molar area with a scalloped border and corticated margin. The tumor was treated conservatively with enucleation and curettage, and the decision was made to preserve the right primary second molar. A biopsy confirmed it as AF. During the 43 months of follow-up, the patient had no evidence of recurrence or malignant transformation. Moreover, the radiographic examination revealed the generation of tooth germ to be a permanent second premolar. This report shows a case of AF in the posterior maxilla of a 4-year-old boy and discusses the conservative therapeutic approach to this tumor. Therefore, the age of the patients should be an important consideration when choosing conservative or radical surgery in a young AF patient.

법랑모세포섬유종은 드물게 나타나는 진성 혼합 치성 종양으로 10~20대의 어린 환자의 하악에서 호발하는 경향을 보인다. 법랑모세포섬유종의 치료는 종양부위의 제거를 원칙으로 하고 있다. 종양부의 제거는 보존적 방법과 광범위한 제거를 선택할 수 있으나 이는 아직 논쟁이 되는 사항이며 저자에 따라 주장하는 바가 다르다. 이는 법랑모세포섬유종의 재발률과 악성으로의 전이 가능성 때문이다. 본 증례는 상악 우측 유구치의 미맹출을 주소로 내원한 4세 환아에서 발생한 법랑모세포섬유종에 대하여 묘사하고 있다. 법랑모세포섬유종을 적출술과 소파술을 이용하여 성공적으로 치료 하였기에 이에 대한 문헌고찰 및 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
