Recurrent conventional cemento-ossifying fibroma of the mandible.
Cemento-ossifying fibromas are slow growing, benign lesions. Recurrence is considered rare. A mandibular periapical radiolucent lesion in a 30-year-old female was diagnosed histologically as a cemento-ossifying fibroma and excised. A recurrence was found 2 years and 6 months postoperatively. CT demonstrated that the recurrent lesion was larger than indicated by conventional radiography.
