Cemento-ossifying fibroma is classified as a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws. It commonly presents as a progressively growing lesion that can attain an enormous size with resultant deformity if left untreated. They commonly affect adult females between the third and fourth decade of life and it is odontogenic in origin. Radiographically, they appear as well-defined unilocular or multilocular intraosseous masses. This lesion is invariably encapsulated and of mixed radiolucent densities. This article reports a case of an 16-year-old female who came to us with the history of recurrent painless swelling at the right maxillary region. The clinical, radiographic and histological features as well as surgical findings are presented.
