The ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is a mixed tumor, composed by odontogenic epithelium that induces odontogenic mesenchyma to form dentine or products similar to dentine. Lesions have been reported in young patients, between the first or second decade of life, and usually diagnosed before they become 20 years old. Lesions are asymptomatic and with a slow growth behaviour. Radiographically, it is observed as an unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with well-defined borders, radiopaque material could be dispersed troughout the lesion. The treatment is based on enucleation with fully osseous curettage. The objective of this article is to report the case of a 1-year-old female patient with an ameloblastic fibrodentinoma on the right side of the mandible.
