| Popis: | Cementifying Fibroma (CF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion with sharply defined and well-confined edges. It is slow-growing and has a radiolucent peripheral component. It is mostly seen in the mandible in the 20-39 years age group with a female predilection. Hereby, the authors present a case report of a 60-year-old woman who had a painless growth in the upper front region of her jaw for two months and visited Outpatient Department (OPD). Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry due to swelling in the upper front region of the jaw. Intraoral examination showed round to oval swelling in the 11 and 21 regions. On radiographic examination, a round radiolucency in the 11 region was appreciated. After excision, the tissue was sent to the laboratory, and histopathologically the diagnosis was confirmed as peripheral CF. The patient was kept in a 12-month follow-up postoperatively, which reported no recurrence. |
