Abstrakt: Central Cemento Ossifying Fibromas [COF] are uncommon benign fibroosseous lesions of the jaw thought to originate from the periodontal ligament. Presence of cementum or bone differentiates the lesion into cementifying fibroma or ossifying fibroma respectively while lesions with mixture of both cementum and bone are called COF. These lesions have overlapping clinical, radiologic and pathologic features causing difficulty in diagnosis. The juvenile form is clinically more aggressive and have higher recurrence rate. We describe an unusual case of juvenile COF in 13 years old girl which was mimicking Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
