Congenital ameloblastic fibroma in association with oculoauriculovertebral spectrum.
Although orodental anomalies have been reported to occur in patients with oculoauriculovertebral spectrum, no previous publications in the English literature have been located that describe an ameloblastic fibroma in a patient with this condition. This report presents a 15-month-old female monozygotic twin with concomitant oculoauriculovertebral spectrum and a congenital ameloblastic fibroma of the mandible. A theory linking the pathogenesis of the two conditions is also raised.
