Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of the Mandible: A Case Report.

Benign osseous tumors of mesodermal origin that are included within the group of fibro-osseous lesions include cemento-ossifying fibromas (COFs). The fibrocellular component of these diseases originates from the periodontal ligament, which deposits bone and cementum encased in fibrous tissue. It typically appears in the mandible and presents as a solitary, nonaggressive, slowly developing, asymptomatic, expansile lesion, rarely occurring in the maxilla. The only intervention that proved to be successful in producing excellent outcomes and that may be regarded as a final therapeutic option is the complete surgical removal of COFs. Presenting herein is a case report describing a painless and expansile mass in the left mandibular region, histopathologically diagnosed as COF.
