Central odontogenic fibroma of maxilla-a case report
نویسنده
چکیده
Handlers and his colleagus described Central Odontogenic Fibroma (COF) in 1991, as an extremely rare benign odontogenic tumor that is derived from dental mesenchymal tissue. Its accounts for about 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. COF is an asymptomatic, slow growing lesion, usually occuring in adults and has a female predilection. This article presents a case of COF in a 35-year-old male, on the right side of maxilla that presented as an asymptomatic swelling with well-defined borders having unilocular radiolucency. The clinicopathological findings, radiographic features and treatment of COF are discussed.
