   Abstract:	The purpose of this article is to describe a rare case of Ameloblastic Fibroma (AF) with atypical localization with long term follow-up period. The AF is a relatively rare benign mixed odontogenic tumour, which is extremely uncommon in the anterior maxillary region. It represents only 1-2% of all odontogenic tumors and males are slightly more frequently affected than females. It presents more frequently in the mandible than maxilla. The majority of AF’s are found in the posterior area of the mandible and painless, slow growing and usually asymptomatic but eventually expand the jaw. A 3 year-old girl with a chief complaint of painless swelling on the right maxillar area. Radiological evaluation revealed a well-circumscribed large lesion. The lesion was diagnosed as AF according to the histopathological fi ndings. She was treated by enucleation with no recurrence observed after a follow-up period of 5 years. After fi ve years, radiographs showed that the surgical defect had fi lled with new bone. A conservative approach, including enucleation and mechanical curettage of the surrounding tissue appeared to be successful for the patient. Although recurrence of AF is rare, regular reviews to monitor growth and development are required for the high potential of recurrence rates.

   Abstract:	The authors have presented the case of ameloblastic fibroma of the upper jaw in 21 years old adult. Dimensions of the tumor, which were the result of long standing growth, and the occurring at the age when odontogenesis was practically completed, have supported the concept of distinct pathologic entity, but have not been agree with the theory of interrelationship of ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma and odontoma. In the context of those two studies the authors have discussed relationship of the mixed odontogenic tumors.
