Large cemento-ossifying fibroma of the maxilla causing proptosis: a case report

Rajan Gunaseelan et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Cemento-ossifying fibromas form a part of the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws and are considered benign but locally aggressive tumors. This report presents a 31-year-old female patient with a large cemento-ossifying fibroma of the maxilla, expanding into the orbit and causing proptosis. The report also discusses the surgical management of this lesion with successful preservation of optic nerve function and normal vision.
