Bilateral synchronous ossifying fibromas of the mandible: a case report

Mahir Tayfur et al. Int J Clin Exp Pathol. .

Abstract

Ossifying fibroma of the jaw is a benign fibroosseous tumour. The growth of it is slowly and it is well circumscribed. Occurrence of multiple ossifying fibromas (synchronous) is rare in the jaw, and only a few cases have been documented. The most of these cases were in only maxilla. The fewer cases were reported in both of maxilla and mandible. We report a case of bilateral synchronous ossifying fibromas involving the mandible of a 37 years old male. The importance of our case is that bilaterality and synchronous of the lesions. Our case is the first synchronous mandibler lesion in literature reported.

Keywords: Ossifying fibroma; bilateral; mandible; synchronous.
