Abstract

Central odontogenic fibroma is an extremely rare benign tumor, accounting for less than 0.1% of all odontogenic tumors. The most recent literature review that only 69 cases have so far been reported. This tumor has a slow persistent growth that results in painless cortical expansion clinically, and well defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion. Root resorption of associated teeth is common, and lesions located between the teeth often cause root divergence. There is occurring tendency to female more than male, and occurring in the mandible and in the maxilla with equal frequency. The treatment is surgical excision with no tendency to undergo malignant transformation. We report a case of central odontogenic fibroma in the maxilla of a 27-year male with literatures review.
