Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign neoplasm of the jawbones.
- Multiple central COF is an exceptionally rare clinical presentation.
- Understanding diverse COF presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Observation:
- A 35-year-old female presented with bilateral intraoral swellings.
- Radiographic examination revealed well-defined mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesions with distinct margins.
- No specific genetic markers were identified in this case.
Findings:
- The case demonstrates a rare occurrence of multiple central ossifying fibroma.
- The radiographic appearance varied, showcasing mixed radiodensity and sclerotic borders.
- Bilateral presentation of COF is uncommon, necessitating detailed imaging.
Implications:
- This case expands the understanding of COF's varied clinical and radiographic manifestations.
- Highlights the importance of advanced imaging techniques for diagnosing rare jaw tumors.
- Emphasizes the need for continued research into the etiology of multifocal COF.
