Abstract:
The central odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign neoplasm, and considered to be derived from the mesenchymal tissue of dental origin. It is a poorly defined tumor of the jawbones which has only been infrequently reported in the literature. We report a histologically proven case of simple-type central odontogenic fibroma, which affected the left canine-premolar region of the maxilla in a 52-year-old woman.
