title: [Central odontogenic fibroma].
abstract: Odontogenic fibroma is an infrequent benign tumor, originating in the mesenchyma and including an inactive odontogenic epithelial component. The central form, of which one case is reported here, is expressed by a relatively well-delineated radiolucent area, whose interest and difficulty lie in the differential diagnosis. On the basis of a review of the literature, details are given on the clinical, clinicopathologic, diagnostic and therapeutic data.
