ameloblastic fibroma


fibroma

 [fi-bro´mah] (pl. fibromas, fibro´�mata) a tumor composed mainly of fibrous or fully developed connective tissue. Called also fibroid and fibroid tumor.ameloblastic fibroma an odontogenic fibroma, marked by simultaneous proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal tissue, without formation of enamel or dentin.cementifying fibroma cementoblastoma; a tumor usually occurring in the mandible of older persons and consisting of fibroblastic tissue containing masses of cementum-like tissue.chondromyxoid fibroma of bone a benign slowly growing tumor of chondroblastic origin, usually affecting the long bones of the lower limb.cystic fibroma one that has undergone cystic degeneration.fibroma myxomato´des myxofibroma.nonosteogenic fibroma a degenerative and proliferative lesion of the medullary and cortical tissues of bone.odontogenic fibroma a rare benign tumor of the jaw arising from the embryonic portion of the tooth germ, the dental papilla, or dental follicle.ossifying fibroma (ossifying fibroma of bone) a benign, relatively slow-growing, central bone tumor, usually of the jaws, especially the mandible, which is composed of fibrous connective tissue within which bone is formed.

am·e·lo·blas·tic fi·bro·ma

a benign mixed odontogenic tumor characterized by neoplastic proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal components of the tooth bud without the production of dental hard tissue; presents clinically as a slow-growing painless radiolucency occurring most commonly in the mandibles of children and adolescents.

ameloblastic fibroma

A benign, usually solid, rarely cystic tumour primarily of children and adolescents, composed of strands and buds of ameloblastoma-like epithelial cells in a dense, cell-free connective tissue stroma. Mitoses are rare. Multiple sections are needed to exclude dentine which, if present, would designate the lesion ameloblastic fibro-dentinoma.
