Abstract

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COsF) is a benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumor. The origin of COsF occurs within the periodontal ligament, housing multipotent stem cells capable of generating cementum, lamellar bone, and/or fibrous tissue. This case report of a 35-year-old male reported swelling in the left lower posterior jaw region over the past year. The objective of this report is to provide clinicians and researchers with insights into the diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and the evolving landscape of COF, facilitating improved patient management and furthering the discourse on this intriguing maxillofacial pathology.
