Ameloblastic fibroma is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour showing proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. It is usually seen in first two decades of life and posterior part of mandible is the commonest site involved. It is mostly associated with impacted or congenitally missing teeth. There is considerable debate as to whether it is a hamartoma or a true neoplasm. Herein, we report a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 17- year old female patient involving the mandible and associated with impacted and congenitally missing teeth. The tumour showed aggressive features which were suggestive of a true neoplasm but age of the patient was corroborative to a hamartoma.
