Ossifying (cemento-ossifying) fibroma: a case report

Ossifying fibroma (of) is “a benign, slowgrowing, nonodontogenic tumor of the jaws that is often clinically and microscopically similar- if not identical- to cementifying fibroma” (j.c.b stewart,1999). it occurs most frequently in second and third decades of life and it is more common in mandible than in maxillofacial region, and in females^(2,3), and “its presentation is similar to that of fibrous dysplasia (fd) in that it causes expansion of the bone without violating the cortical plate”(j.j. sciubba, j.e. fantasia,l.b. kahn,2001).
