title: Cemento-ossifying fibroma of the mandible.
abstract: Cemento-ossifying fibromas are normally slow-growing, benign lesions. A cemento-ossifying fibroma occurring in a 25 year old female is presented with clinical features of a rapidly enlarging tumour within a period of less than three years. Radiolucent areas with a short history of rapid enlargement should be subjected to pathological investigation prior to definitive surgery so that the appropriate treatment may be undertaken.
