Summary: | Central fibroma is a rare, benign tumor which may be found in either the maxillaor the mandible. We recently experienced a case of central fibroma arising in the left maxilla of a 18-year-old female. The clinical course is described in this paper. The tumor in this case was excised under general anesthesia. From histological examination, the diagnosis of central fibroma was made based on the fact that the tumor is composed of spindle shaped fibroblasts and few interspersed collagen fibers, and that it contains small odontogenic epithelial rests. The prognosis of this case is favorable with no sign of relapse. |
