Abstract :
Ossifying Fibroma (OF) is “a benign, slowgrowing, nonodontogenic tumor of the jaws that is often clinically and microscopically similar- if not identical- to cementifying fibroma” (J.C.B Stewart,1999). It occurs most frequently in second and third decades of life and it is more common in mandible than in maxillofacial region, and in females^(2,3), and “its presentation is similar to that of fibrous dysplasia (FD) in that it causes expansion of the bone without violating the cortical plate”(J.J. Sciubba, J.E. Fantasia,L.B. Kahn,2001).
