Ameloblastic fibro odontoma new name
A interesting question!
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a type of odontogenic tumor that is characterized by the presence of both dental follicle cells (ameloblasts and fibroblasts) and dental hard tissues (enamel and dentin). It is a rare tumor that typically occurs in children and young adults.
In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reclassified this tumor and renamed it "Ameloblastic Odontoma with Dental Follicle-like Component" (AODF-FC). This new name reflects the tumor's unique composition, which includes both ameloblastic and odontogenic components.
So, to summarize:
- Old name: Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma
- New name: Ameloblastic Odontoma with Dental Follicle-like Component (AODF-FC)
I hope that helps!
