Abstract

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. Here, we describe three cases of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. We present both conventional radiography and computed tomography (CT) images from two cases and conventional radiography from one case. Given the CT values of the tumor’s radiopaque components, CT was very useful for the diagnosis of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma.
