Core Tip
Core Tip: Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that predominantly affects the craniofacial region. It is considered a rare tumor, with most lesions affecting the mandible region, particularly the molar and pre-molar areas. It is asymptomatic in most cases, but it can slowly grow until it is involved with the adjacent structures, leading to symptoms. The treatment is surgical excision, and it can be safely performed due to its well-demarcated nature. Recurrences can be avoided by extensive removal of the tumor. This case highlighted a case of a rare tumor with surgical excision and a good outcome.
