Juvenile ossifying fibromas (JOF) are benign central lesions occurring in children. Two variants of this entity have been recognized - trabecular and psammomatoid. These lesions are usually asymptomatic and present only as a growing swelling. We hereby report a case of a trabecular variant of a juvenile ossifying fibroma in a five-year-old boy.
