title: A Large Ameloblastic Fibro-odontoma of the Maxillary Sinus.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare, benign, asymptomatic tumor. The term ameloblastic fibro-odontoma was first used by Hooker in 1967 as a separate lesion from ameloblastic odontoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  This case report describes an eleven years old female with large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the right maxillary sinus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a low potential for recurrence after complete Enucleation of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, but due to the risk of ameloblastic sarcoma after recurrence, the surgery should be perfect along with a careful follow up.
