Summary. The ameloblastic fibroma is an odontogenic tumour with an unusual presentation. It is considered to have both epithelial and mesenchymal elements, but it läcks any calcifled dental structures. Two new cases are presented. The first of these began as a mandibular tumour whereas the second was discovered by chance. The radiographic finding in each case was a unilocular cystic radiolucency. Treatment consisted of excisional biopsy by enucleation in both patients. Histopathological findings were consistent with ameloblastic fibroma.
