    <abstract locale="en_US">Introduction: Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor, affects the young 
population, its management is mainly surgical. We report in this work the first observation of a 
concomitant bimaxillary localization. 
Materials and Methods: This is a 31-year-old female patient with no pathological history 
who presented to our department for management of a maxillomandibular tumor. The clinical 
examination revealed a poor oral condition and a swelling of the alveolar ridges. The CT scan 
of the facial mass revealed a multilocular cystic lesion encompassing teeth in the maxillary and 
mandibular bone. The biopsy came back in favor of an odontoameloblastic fibroma. Management 
consisted of radical resection with reconstruction using local flaps. FOA is a tumor distinct from 
ameloblastoma, it affects the young patients without any predilection to gender. The radiological 
image is a mono or multilocular cystic image which poses a problem of differential diagnosis with 
other cystic tumors. The management is surgical, clinical and radiological postoperative surveillance 
is primordial given the risk of recurrence or sarcomatous transformation. 
Conclusion: The FOA was for a long time considered as a form of ameloblastoma, is a rare 
tumor in the mandibular localization is the most frequent, the bimaxillary localization has never 
been described and the case we presented is the first in literature.
