Abstract

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a rare fibro-osseous tumor. The lesion is most commonly seen in people in the third and fourth decade. There are three variants of ossifying fibroma; juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma, juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma, and COF. COF is highly cellular and contains a fibrous tissue that has different amounts of calcified tissue. Although histologically benign, it has a significant growth potential.
