Summary:Rarely, the giant ossifying fibroma is a neoplasm with high growth potential. These lesions have frequently been associated with heterogeneous clinical and radiographic features, leading to difficulty in diagnosis. Generally, peripheral ossifying fibroma presents predilection for the female sex as well as by the jaw region and affects patients of variable age. This paper aims to report the clinical-surgical approach of a case of extensive ossifying fibroma in the right mandibular region, clinically mimicking a malignant lesion, and its histologic characteristics that led to the establishment of the diagnosis.
