FIBROUS DYSPLASIA MIMICKING CEMENTO - OSSIFYING FIBROMA HISTOPATHOLOGICALLY - A CASE ANALYSIS.
Dr. Tapaswini Bag* and Dr Krittika Joshi
ABSTRACT Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a fibro-osseous lesion which belongs to the same category as fibrous dysplasia and cement-ossifying dysplasia. In a recent WHO classification (2005), the term „cemento-ossifying fibroma‟ was replaced with „ossifying fibroma‟. These are slow growing, painless lesions which are seen more commonly in women between the third and fourth decades of life. We report an unusual case of a cemento ossifying fibroma of the left mandible diagnosed histopathologically in a 52 year old female patient who presented with a painless swelling on the left side of the face. The lesion was treated with surgical resection and reconstruction. Keywords: Fibrous dysplasia, Cemento-ossifying fibroma, Jaw, Fibro-osseous lesion, Maxillofacial imaging.
