(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2017-09-19) Costa, Pablo Jhony Palhano
The central ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm of uncommon fibro-osseous origin that affects the bones of the face, diagnosed with a combination of clinical, radiological and histopathological examination. The lesion is asymptomatic, in most cases, until the growth produces visible swelling and moderate deformity. This paper reports the case of an ossifying fibroma in the mandible confirmed by incisional biopsy of a 26 year-old melanoderma patient, in which an increase of the lingual bone cortex was observed in the mandibular symphysis region, appearing normocorate mucosa and displacement of the teeth 31, 41, 42, 43 and 44. The proposed treatment was then enucleation and curettage of the same, under general anesthesia. The patient is in postoperative follow-up of 7 months without intercurrences and without signs of relapse.
