Objective: This presentation attempts to show surgical treatment of a case cemento-ossifying
fibroma of the mandible.
Case: A 31 years old female patient reported to the outpatient department with a chief
complaint of painless swelling in the lower right back tooth region. Patient didn’t have trauma
history and paraesthesia. On palpation lesion had no pulsations and no fluctuation. Osteoclast
type giant cells were seen in the aspiration biopsy. After that received an incisional biopsy
was reported as the benign fibro-osseos lesion.Under general anesthesia, the curettage of the
lesion was discussed with the patient and the patient accepted the procedure.
Conclusion: Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of
lesions that present clinically as a slow-growing tumor. Though there is no classic appearance
that can help distinguish it from ossifying fibroma, it appears that the distinction between
cemento-ossifying and ossifying variants is academic, as no behavioral differences exist. High
recurrence rates call for a thorough surgical treatment approach for such cases.
