[Cemento-ossifing fibroma: two cases].
BACKGROUND
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor which can affect both jaw bones, particularly the mandible.


METHODS
We report two cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma which illustrate the radiological and anatomic features of these tumors. Differential diagnosis between cementifying fibroma and ossifying fibroma was particularly difficult. The cementifying fibroma was treated by surgical resection followed by immediate reconstruction with an iliac bone graft. The ossifying fibroma was treated by enucleation-resection.


CONCLUSIONS
The clinical, radiological and histological features of cementifying and ossifying fibroma allow distinction. Surgical treatment is achieved by enucleation resection for small-sized ossifying fibromas and mono-bloc resection with bone reconstruction for large-sized cementifying and ossifying fibromas.
