Abstract

|
|
|
Ossifying fibromasare benign fibro-osseoustumors of mesenchymal origin. Although ossifying fibromashave principally been found in the jaw, they have also been reported in the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and temporal bones, as well as the orbit and anterior cranial fossa. Ossifying fibromasaffect-ing the jaw exhibit variable behaviors ranging from slow growth to occasionally aggressive local destruction. In the present article, we discuss a differ-ential diagnosis considered for maxillary swellings and report a rare case of ossifying fibroma occurring in the maxilla.
