ntroduction: Odontogenic fibromas (OFs) were defined in the latest classification of the World Health Organization (WHO) as a uncommon neoplasm characterized by an erratic quantity of inactive odontogenic epithelium in a rather-mature fibrous stroma. [1] OF is considered to be an " Elusive and controversial tumor " due to its rarity and the uncertainty. [2] It is a benign neoplasm, representing...

THE CONCEPT OF FIBROOSSEOUS LESIONS OF BONE HAS EVOLVED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DECADES AND NOW INCLUDES TWO MAJOR ENTITIES: fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma is a relatively rare tumour classified between fibroosseous lesions. It predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, with peak prevalence between 10 and 19 yrs. The cemento-ossifying fibrom...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm that usuallydevelops from gingiva, presenting as an exophytic smooth surfaced pink or red nodular mass that is sessile or is less frequently seen on a pedicle. From the Indian perspective, it is usually noticed in 5th-6th decades of life with female predilection. Microscopically, the tumour shows stratified squamous epithelium and highly cellula...

In 1991, Handlers and colleagues described the Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) as a distinct entity which is a rare benign odontogenic tumour and up to the present, only 78 cases of it have been published. COF usually occurs in an adult patient and has a predilection for the anterior region of the jaws. A 2.8:1 female to mail ratio is typically noted. This article presents a case of COF in a ...

calcifying odontogenic cyst (coc), central odontogenic fibroma (cof) and aggressive central giant cell granuloma (cgcg) are rare pathologic diseases affecting the jaws. while the co-existence of two of them is reported in the literature, existence of all three conditions in one patient is an extremely rare entity. in the present report, initial biopsy revealed fibrosarcoma, therefore mandibular...

Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare benign tumor usually affects the first two decades of life. The neoplasm more predominant in mandibular molar-premolar region and rarely maxilla. In this report, we present couple cases, affecting boys at their 1st decade. lesions were presented as swellings maxilla, which atypical location. Radiographic images showed well-defined radiolucency containing areas rad...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour, with both epithelial and mesenchymal neoplastic proliferation. It occurs most frequently in the posterior region of the mandible, while its occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. They are usually encountered in children, emphasizing it as an important diagnostic consideration. Herein, we report the first case of a bilater...

The spectrum of odontogenic fibroma, fibromyxoma/myxofibroma and myxoma represents a histogenetically related but behaviourally distinct heterogenous group of benign mesenchymal neoplasms. The terminologies myxofibromas/ fibromyxomas have been used histologically in the literature in a contradictory way either synonymously to myxomas or to designate simple odontogenic fibromas/ fibromas undergo...

A case of central odontogenic fibroma is reported. The clinical, radiological and pathological features are discussed. It is of particular interest because of its maxillary location and the severe external root resorption associated with the tumour.
