Resumen
Ossifying fibromas are benign intraosseous neoplasias involving the maxillas, especially the posterior segment of the mandible. They are characterized by slow and painless growth as the buccal plate producing the deformity itself expands. They appear more frequently in women between 35 and 40 years of age. From a radidlogy perspective, they could likened to a well-defined radiolucid and unilocular area surrounded by a radio-opaque (sclerotic) halo or like a radio-transparency with central opacities or even like a multi-ocular radioluscence. Occasionally, they can also be classified as radio-opaque. Treatment of choice would be a surgical exeresis with an extension that depends on the size and location of the lesion.
