Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion belonging to the same category as fibrous dysplasia and cementifying dysplasia. These are slow-growing lesions that are seen in the third and fourth decades of life. Both the ossifying fibroma and cemento-ossifying fibroma represent two extremes of the same disease process since histologically both contain bone and cementum. However, the term cemento-ossifying fibroma is justified on the basis of clinical and radiological correlation. Radiographs have become an essential tool in the diagnosis of lesions in the jaw, where the anatomy is complex. Nowadays, CT provides information for diagnosis as well as treatment planning. In this case series, we report three cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma that were histologically confirmed and discuss the imaging findings.
骨化性纤维瘤是一种良性纤维-骨病变，与骨纤维异常增殖症和牙骨质骨化异常同属一类。这些病变生长缓慢，多见于人生的第三个和第四个十年。骨化性纤维瘤和骨化牙骨质纤维瘤代表了同一疾病过程的两个极端，因为在组织学上两者都含有骨和牙骨质。然而，基于临床和影像学的相关性，骨化牙骨质纤维瘤这一术语是合理的。X线片已成为诊断颌骨病变的重要工具，因为颌骨解剖结构复杂。如今，CT为诊断和治疗计划提供信息。在本病例系列中，我们报告了三例经组织学证实的骨化牙骨质纤维瘤病例，并讨论其影像学表现。
