Peripheral Cemanto-Ossifying Fibroma - A Case Report

Dr. Abhilasha Asthana, Dr. Amit Kumar Singh

Abstract: The concept of fibroosseous lesions of bone has evolved over the last several decades and now includes two major entities: fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. Peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma is a relatively rare tumour classified between fibroosseous lesions. It predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, with peak prevalence between 10 and 19yrs. The cemento-ossifying fibroma is a central neoplasm of bone as well as periodontium which has caused considerable controversy because of confusion regarding terminology and the criteria for its diagnosis. The cemento-ossifying fibroma is odontogenic in origin, whereas ossifying fibroma is of bony origin. Lesions histologically similar to peripheral ossifying fibroma have been given various names in existing literature.

Keywords: Benign fibroosseous lesions, fibrous dysplasia, cementifying fibroma, ossifying fibroma, peripheral giant cell granuloma
