Unilocular ossifying fibroma of the mandible misdiagnosed as a radicular cyst: Case report
Abstract
Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion which arises mostly on mandibular molarpremolar
region. Ossifying fibroma may be asymptomatic or may cause buccolingual expansion.
The localization of the lesion is mainly on non-tooth bearing areas of the jaws. Radiographically
the lesion is presented with a range of radiographic patterns including pure radioluscency, mix
radiolucency-radiopacity or pure radioopacity. Ossifying fibroma is always well-demarcated. In
this case report, the surgical treatment of a misdiagnosed unilocular ossifying fibroma which is
in relation with mandibular second molar radix is presented.
