Ossifying fibroma

Ossifying fibroma

Definition

A well circumscribed lesion of the bone, most frequently arising from the posterior mandible. It is characterized by the presence of fibrous tissue and a mineralized component which may be woven bone, lamellar bone, or cementum-like material. Complete removal is recommended, since it continues to enlarge if left untreated.

Also known as Cementifying fibroma, cemento-ossifying fibroma, fibroma, ossifying, benign, ossifying fibroma, ossifying fibroma (disease) — per MONDO
