Cemento-ossifying Fibroma of Mandible: Report of Two Cases

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a bone producing, slow growing, asymptomatic, well-demarcated, benign lesion of the jaw.1 Typically affects female between 20 to 40 years, predilection for the mandible premolar-molar region, causing a painless swelling but undergoes slow expansile growth.2 Most probably tumor originates from periodontal membrane, therefore, with double embryonic origin (ectod...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma: a case report.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a mesodermal, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws. A case of mandibular molar enlargement that was treated previously by other surgeons and diagnosed as cemento-ossifying fibroma, is presented. Two recurrences occurred 4 and 8 years after surgery due to incomplete surgical removal.

Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma--a case report.

Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma (PCOF) is a relatively common gingival growth of a reactive rather than neoplastic nature whose pathogenesis remains uncertain. It predominantly affects adolescent & young adults with greater prevalence around 28 years. We report in this study, the clinical case of a 47-year-old female patient who was asymptomatic, with the disease duration of 2 years and wa...

Central Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma: A Case Report

of mineralized substances, which may be bony or cementum like in appearance. The lesion, termed as cemento-ossifying fibroma, has been regarded as an osteogenic neoplasm. The fibrous dysplasia in which the normal bone structure is replaced by collagenous tissue is normally regarded as non-neoplastic. The cemento-ossifying fibromas (COF), in some cases has been demarcated into ossifying and ceme...

Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of Mandible- A Case Report

Cemento-Ossifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jaw bones and are included in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumours. Clinically, it is a large asymptomatic tumor of aggressive appearance. Four separate categories have been identified: Periapical cemental dysplasia, benign cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and a rare gigantiform variety. It has been suggested ...
