Cemento-ossifying Fibroma of Mandible: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a relatively rare, benign, nonodontogenic tumor of the jaw, a subdivision of fibro-osseous lesions. Age of occurrence is between 20 to 40 years. Female to male ratio is 5:1, with affinity for posterior mandible region Aim is to evaluate the principal clinical and radiological features of two classical case reports of cemento-ossifying fibroma with discussion on clinical features and radiographic and imaging features. Here we are presenting two classical case reports of cement-ossifying fibroma of the mandible. Case 1 was a 19 years old female reported with painless swelling of molar-premolar region of right mandible with duration of 6 months. Case 2 was a 23-year-old female with an asymptomatic giant swelling of right mandible with duration of 3 years. Both cases were having typical clinical and radiographic features of COF which was later confirmed by histopathology.
