Abstract

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 lit- erature 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.
Keywords: ameloblastic fibroma, peripheral, gingiva
ÖZ
Santral ameloblastik fibroma genellikle erkeklerde ve posterior mandibulada gözlenen benign mikst odonto- jenik bir tümördür. Periferik ameloblastik fibroma, bilindiği kadarıyla İngilizce olarak yayınlanan literatürde bil- dirilen beş vaka ile son derece nadirdir. Dişetini ilgilendiren büyümelerin ayırıcı tanısında periferal ameloblastik fibroma da bulundurulmalıdır. Bu vaka raporu, 46 yaşında bir kadın hastanın sol maksiller premolar bölgesinde periferik bir ameloblastik fibromu sunmaktadır.
