Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of the Mandible: A Case Report

Abstract

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.
