Ameloblastic Fibro-Odontoma in a 16-Month-Old Male: A Case Report and Literature Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor characterized by both soft tissue proliferation and dental hard tissue formation. This case report presents a 16-month-old male with AFO in the anterior mandible, representing one of the youngest documented cases. The patient presented with progressive facial swelling first noted at 10 months of age. Clinical examination revealed facial asymmetry with non-tender buccal expansion, while CT imaging demonstrated a well-defined 23×28mm lytic lesion with internal calcifications in the right parasymphyseal region. Treatment consisted of conservative surgical enucleation and curettage under general anesthesia, with extraction of involved teeth. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of AFO, showing islands of ameloblastic epithelium within mesenchymal stroma and evidence of dentin and cementum formation. A literature review of AFO cases in children under 5 years (2014-2024) yielded eight cases with equal gender distribution and no clear predilection for maxilla versus mandible. All reported cases showed lesional expansion, and most were treated with enucleation and curettage with no recurrence noted during follow-up periods. The patient recovered uneventfully with resolution of facial asymmetry and showed no signs of recurrence at six-month follow-up. This case highlights that AFO could manifest at an exceptionally young age, expanding the recognized age range and underscoring the effectiveness of conservative surgical management for this rare odontogenic tumor.
