A case of peripheral ossifying fibroma is presented. The important clinical and histological features are discussed, along with the differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.

Ossifying fibromas are benign fibro-osseous tumors of mesenchymal origin. Although ossifying fibromas have principally been found in the jaw, they have also been reported in the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and temporal bones, as well as the orbit and anterior cranial fossa. Ossifying fibromas affecting the jaw exhibit variable behaviors ranging from slow growth to occasionally aggressive local ...

Various terms have been suggested to describe non-ossifying fibroma including fibrous cortical defect, cortical desmoid, metaphyseal fibrous defect and non-osteogenic fibroma. Regardless of the term used, they probable all refer to abnormal osteoclastogenesis at the metaphyseal region. Non-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibrogenic tumor primarily affecting children and adolescents. It is the mos...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumour that rarely involves the ethmoid sinuses and orbit. It is classified as a benign fibroosseous lesion, a term that is synonymous with a variety of lesions reported in the literature. Recurrence rate with deleterious effects in cases of extramandibular ossifying fibroma is the impetus for open en bloc resection of the tumour. Continuously evolvin...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign fibro-osseous neoplasm commonly involving the jaws majority of lesions occur in mandible bone. It can be discovered as an incidental finding radiological imaging. Symptomatic patients are presented with slowly growing mass bone and attain large size passage time. cause facial deformity if left untreated. We present such case right hemi-mandible bone, i...
