Abstract

Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign bone neoplasm common in middle age, with definite female predominance. Here, we describe a case of an ossifying fibroma in a 36-year-old female, with a right facial deformity. The lesion had been present for almost 10 years. The panoramic image showed a multilocular appearance with scattered radiopacities. Advanced imaging revealed an expansile multilocular lesion with multiple small radiopaque foci and a few dense radiopaque masses. A histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. The case represents a non-aggressive form of an immature ossifying fibroma.

Keywords: fibrous osseous lesion; high resolution 3d cbct-based imaging; ossifying fibroma; panoramic.
