Abstract

|
|
|
Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is an uncommon slow growing benign neoplasm that is derived from the mesenchymal tissue. Differential diagnoses include fibrous dysplasia, calcifying odontogenic cyst, and central ossifying fibroma. Clinically, the lesion shows expansion of cortical bone. Radiologically, unilocular or multilocular lesion with well-defined borders is found. Histologically, fibroblastic tissues with bundle of collagens including inactive odontogenic epithelium can be observed. In this case report, a 45-year-old male with central odontogenic fibroma of the maxilla is examined. The lesion was surgically removed without any postoperative complications. In order to diagnose the disease properly, histopathologic analysis was performed.
