Demystifying the Mystified - An Ambiguous Presentation of Cemento-ossifying Fibroma in Maxilla.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a slow growing benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. It is typically found in craniofacial bones, frequently involving the mandible and it tends to occur in third and fourth decade of life with predilection for women. Occurrence of this lesion in maxilla is a rare entity. We report one such case of cemento-ossifying fibroma of size 5x4 cm on upper left maxilla in 38 year old female patient which is an unusual presentation.

Recurrent Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma: A Case Report with the Review of Literature

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF) is a rare benign mesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm with or without odontogenic epithelium, which is considered to be the mucosal analogue of central odontogenic fibroma. Though peripheral odontogenic tumours are rare, comprising of only 0.05% of all biopsy specimens, POF is the most common peripheral odontogenic tumour, more common than its central counterpart by a ratio of 1.4: 1. In this report, we describe a healthy 40-year-old female who was seen with a recurrent POF of the left mandible.

Cemento Ossifying Fibroma of the Maxilla - A Case Report.

Cemento ossifying fibroma is a uncommon benign fibro osseous lesion commonly occurs in the young adults in the age group of 20 to 40 yrs, most commonly in the females with an female to male ratio of 5:1.It usually occurs in the craniofacial bones and rarely in long bones, of the craniofacial bones, posterior mandible in the region of premolar molar area is commonly seen. The occurrence COF in the maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses are rarely reported in the literature. A rare case of COF affecting the maxilla in a young male patient is discussed.
