Abstract :

Ossifying fioma is a rare benign neoplasm of the jaw bones considered to be a type of fio–osseous lesion. Its origin is believed to be from periodontal memane, and it shows more predilection toward females. Mandible is more commonly affected than maxilla .They are usually seen in tooth beå areas as a well circumscribed, slowly growing lesions. This bone tumour consists of highly cellular, fious tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum or both. Ossifying fioma requires radical surgery, because of the tendency for recurrence and possibility of malignant transformation. We are reporting an unusual case report of a ossifying fioma of the left mandible in an 45 year old female patient who presented with a painful swelling on the left side of the face. The lesion was treated with surgical resection and reconstruction.
