  • Title: Ameloblastic Fibrosarcoma of the mandible evolving from a prior Ameloblastic Fibroma after two years: an unusual finding.
    Author: Bertoni F, Del Corso G, Bacchini P, Marchetti C, Tarsitano A.
    Journal: Int J Surg Pathol; 2016 Oct; 24(7):656-9. PubMed ID: 27130840.
    Abstract:
    Transformation of an ameloblastic fibroma to an ameloblastic fibrosarcoma has been reported rarely in the literature. The present case report describes such evolution in a patient under long-term follow-up. The patient was first treated in 2008, and he developed the malignant counterpart of the disease 2 years later. The patient is currently under careful long-term follow-up and is free of disease. This article describes the clinical and radiographic features, histological characteristics, immunohistochemical findings, and surgical treatment of the tumor.
