Central odontogenic fibroma is considered to be derived from mesenchymal tissues of dental origin, such as periodontal ligament, dental papilla or dental follicle. It usually resembles an endodontic lesion. This benign neoplasm is a rare tumor and it accounts for 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. Central odontogenic tumor radiologically represents both unilocular and multilocular radiolucent lesion. The following case represents central odontogenic fibroma in a 45 year old female. The case was treated surgically and no post-operative complication was seen.
Key words: Benign lesions, Central odontogenic fibroma, Mandible, Surgical treatment.
