Central odontogenic fibroma of the mandible--a case report.
A 32-year-old male was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kaohsiung Medical College Hospital, with the chief complaint of swelling in the region of the right mandibular angle. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of central odontogenic fibroma. A surgical enucleation with a surrounding bone trimming and an iliac bone graft was performed under general anesthesia. A three years follow-up showed good bone regeneration and no evidence of local recurrence.
