Summary:The aim was to report on a case of ossifying fibroma, consisting of a benign fibro-osseous lesion characterized by slow growth and proliferation of fibrous cellular tissue, bone, cement or a combination. A 29-year-old male patient was attended at a hospital, after he had suffered a car accident. During the clinical examination, increased volume in the region of the right side of the mandible was observed, and a fracture in the middle third of the face was suspected. The tomographic examination showed an image suggestive of fracturing of the left-side zygomatic complex, without displacement, and with a well-delimited radiopaque image of the mandible. The patient was sent to a hospital where panoramic radiography, posteroanterior radiography of the face and teleradiography were performed in order to better document the case. An incisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination showed the presence of a benign bone lesion suggestive of ossifying fibroma. Surgery was performed in order to completely remove the lesion, with fixation using a reconstruction plate. A new anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Relatar um caso de fibroma ossificante, uma lesão fibro-óssea benigna caracterizada por crescimento lento e proliferação de tecido celular fibroso, osso, cemento ou uma combinação. Paciente do sexo masculino, 29 anos, foi atendido em um serviço de emergência, após sofrer um acidente automobilístico. Durante o exame clínico observou-se um aumento de volume na região mandibular direita e suspeita de fratura no terço médio da face. O exame tomográfico demonstrou imagem sugestiva de fratura do complexo zigomático esquerdo, sem deslocamento, e imagem radiopaca bem delimitada na mandíbula. O paciente foi levado para o hospital, onde foram feitos uma radiografia panorâmica, PA de face e telerradiografia para melhor documentação do caso. Foi feita uma biópsia incisional. O exame histopatológico teve como resultado lesão óssea benigna, sugestiva de fibroma ossificante. Fez-se uma cirurgia para remoção completa da lesão e fixação com uma placa de reconstrução. O novo exame anatomopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico.
