title: Central odontogenic fibroma.
abstract: The article presents a case of central odontogenic fibroma occurring in the maxilla. The literature is reviewed, in the belief that a discussion of the controversial issues surrounding this neoplasm, its treatment and follow-up information, is warranted, due to the small number of cases (13) of this tumor that have been recognised and reported up to the present.
