Abstract
Ossifying fibroma is rare fibroosseous benign tumor that was first described in 1872 by Menzel who considered it to be a form of osteoma1 The term benign fibroosseous lesion is used to describe a spectrum of lesions ranging from fibrous dysplasia to OF including cementifying OF or cementoOF psammomatoid OF psammomatoid fibroma juvenile or young OF and juvenile active OF Other lesions in this category include benign osteoblastoma and aneurysmal bone cyst2 The origin of OFs is not clearly known but they are thought to develop from the periodontal roots or from primitive mesenchymal cells that are able to produce cementum in nonodontogenic tissues3 They are 16 times more common in females and the most common site is the mandible accounting for 75 to 89 of the cases4 Less commonly the orbit paranasal sinuses anterior skull base or maxilla have been involved5 The presenting symptoms depend on the location of the tumor and may include nasal obstruction ocular and neurologic disturbances and signs of intracranial extension
