Ossifying fibroma with non-specific cystic degeneration: a case report

Abstract

Fibro-osseous lesion are a group histologically similar lesions but with characteristic clinical and radiographic features. The definitive diagnosis of these lesions requires integration of clinical, radiological, histological, and gross surgical features. Ossifying fibroma is an encapsulated lesion that is often found in the mandible of middle-aged females. We report a case of ossifying fibroma in a 25-year-old female with associated non-specific cystic changes and mimicking simple bone cyst. The case reported here is diagnostically challenging and requires proper integration of clinical, radiological, histological, and gross surgical features to reach definitive diagnosis.
