Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign neoplasm that accounts for about 1.5% of intraosseous odontogenic tumors. Its presentation is exclusively in the maxillary bones. It has a mesodermal origin, being able to derive from the dental follicle, periodontal ligament and/or the dental papilla. Traditionally, it has two histological variants: one type that is poor in epithelium and another type that is rich in epithelium with foci of calcified material. In most cases it shows a slow and progressive growth that produces cortical expansion with or without symptomatology. Radiographically, it is common to observe a radiolucent and unilocular image, but rarely multilocular lesions and / or mixed radiolucency can be exhibited. The treatment indicated in most cases is the enucleation of the tumor. The following case report describes the clinical, imaging and histopathological characteristics of a mandibular lesion diagnosed with FOC and whose treatment was enucleation of the tumor.
