Multiple Ossifying-Fibroma In The Jaws: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

Ossifying fibroma is a neoplasm representing one of the benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw. ossifying fibroma has been designated as a demarcated,occasionally encapsulated lesion consisting of fibrous tissue that contains variable amounts of mineralized material resembling abnormal bone or cementum-like tissue. most of them are solitary and show slow, often expansile growth centrally within the jaws and characteristrically behave in a benign fashion. But, rarely they occur as a multiple and in a gigantic form exhibiting an aggressive nature. We has a case of multiple ossifying fibroma showing rapid-growing behavior and sequential occurrence in all four jaw quadrants resulting in severe facial deformity and orbital compression. therefore such a rare case is reported here.
