Abstract :
Odontogenic fibroma is a rare kind of tumour of odontogenic
origin, with variable percentages of incidence. The clinical and
radiological features of odontogenic fibroma are similar to
other odontogenic tumours. Clinical and radiologic findings
confirmed the tumour to be a central odontogenic fibroma.
Central odontogenic fibroma is a rare odontogenic neoplasm
that originates from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. The
lesion is usually asymptomatic except for swelling of the jaw.
Radiologically, central odontogenic fibroma manifests as a
unilocular or multilocular image with well defined margins.
The multilocular radiolucent form is more frequently associated
with complications such as severe reabsorption of the roots
of adjacent teeth, displacement of near-lying teeth or some
included tooth. Enucleation of the lesion is the normal
treatment usually adopted
