The odontogenic fibroma is a relatively rare, slow-growing, benign odontogenic neoplasm of the jaws, with the potential to recur after excision. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified odontogenic fibroma into two variants: 1) WHO type (Epithelial rich) 2) simple type (epithelial poor type). It commonly occurs during middle age and has predilection for mandible. This article presents a rare case of Central Odontogenic Fibroma (WHO type) in a 24 year old female demonstrated radiographically as mixed lesion involving right maxillary premolar – molar region. OF can mimick fibro-ossoeus lesions so, we recommend that vigilant comprehensive analysis of all the pertaining clinical, radiographic and histopathological aspects should be carried out with long term follow up after required treatment |
