Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma.
A case of an ameloblastic fibrosarcoma in the mandible is described. The primary tumor was seen in a 5-year-old child. In spite of repeated surgical interventions, the tumor recurred three times within a one and a half year period, but not metastases have been observed. The difficulties in arriving at a correct diagnosis for this rare tumor involving the mandible are discussed. The treatment of choice seems to be radical surgery.
