Ossifying fibroma

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Ossifying fibroma - a well circumscribed lesion of the bone, most frequently arising from the posterior mandible. It is characterized by the presence of fibrous tissue and a mineralized component which may be woven bone, lamellar bone, or cementum like material. Complete removal is recommended, since it continues to enlarge if left untreated.
