Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon true mixed odontogenic tumor, frequently
diagnosed in the first two decades of life and presented as a well defined unilocular or
multilocular radiolucency. We report an unusual case of AF mimicking a periapical lesion
in a 22-year-old male as a painless swelling associated with a carious molar. The patient
underwent surgery and the lesion was excised, subsequently submitted for histopathological
examination. Thus, this paper highlights the importance of submission of periapical tissue for
its histopathological examination.
