A 19-year-old man with refractory generalized epilepsy related to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (figure 1) complained of chronic left facial swelling. Physical examination disclosed typical mucocutaneous findings of TSC (hypomelanotic macules, shagreen patch, ungual fibromas, facial angiofibromas) and a hardened well-limited mass in his left maxilla, evidenced as an odontogenic extensive lef...

Central cementifying fibroma is a rare non odontogenic tumor coming in the group of fibro osseous lesion, arising from periodontal ligament and is usually seen in tooth bearing area. It can affect both the mandible and the maxilla, particularly the mandible. This bone tumour consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum o...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com different conditions were being reported as odontogenic fibroma (OF). Earlier they used to name every enlarged dental follicle as COF but actual cases been reported as the criteria proposed by Gardner in 1980 [3]. It is believed that it arises from true odontogenic mesenchyme influenced by the odontogenic apparatus [4]. As mentioned in literature ab...

Odontogenic carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant odontogenic tumor with only a few reported cases. It is characterized by a true mixed tumor showing malignant cytology of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. It has been assumed to arise from pre-existing lesions such as ameloblastoma, ameloblastic fibroma, and ameloblastic fibrosarcoma. To date, the reported cases have exhibited...

Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign tumor that accounts for 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. A case of COF (simple type) of the mandible in a four-year-old boy is described in this report. The patient showed asymptomatic swelling in the right inferior border of the lower jaw for one week. A panoramic radiograph showed a poorly-defined destructive unilocular radiolucent area. Cone-...

Ossifying fibroma (cementoma) is a tumor of mesenchymal origin which represents about 1% of odontogenic tumors. It is commonly found in patients under 25, more often so in women. As its growth is slow and painless, it is usually accidentally detected by dental radiological examination. The aim of our study was to present the histopathological dilemma concerning the naming of a rare odontogenic ...

The central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour of jaw bone derived from the ectomesenchyme. It characterized by fibrous mature stroma with variable number strands or islands inactive-looking epithelium. presented case 46 years old male complaining asymptomatic mandibular bony swelling. Radiographically, lesion unilocular radiolucent, root resorption and displacement t...
