Objective
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign fibro-osseous lesion that originate from the mesenchymal cells of the periodontium.
Enucleation or resection may be considered as treatment options of this lesion. Here we present surgical treatment of a case of
cemento-ossifying fibroma located in the ramus of the mandible.
Case
A 12-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for routine examination. After clinical and radiological examinations,
multilocular and non-expanding lesion was detected in the posterior region of the right mandible. Enucleation was performed
under general anesthesia with intraoral approach.
Conclusion
Cemento-ossifying fibroma can exhibit different behaviors clinically and radiologically. After performing differential diagnosis
from other fibroosseous lesions conservative treatment such as enucleation with follow-up will be more appropriate treatment
option than radical surgeries like resection, especially in young patients.
