Abstract

Cementifyng fibroma is one of the fibro-osseous lesions. All fibro-osseous lesions containing cementum are considered to be of periodontal membrance origin and is most common in the maxilla and mandible. Rarely, cementifying fibromas are seen in other craniofacial bone except jaw lesion. A diligent search in the available world literature show only two documentation of cementifying fibroma in the fronto-orbital bone. This case is third case but first in the frontal bone beyond orbit. The authors report a case of cementifying fibroma of the frontal bone in 12-year-old female patient.
