title: [A swelling in the midline of the mandible caused by a ossifying fibroma].
abstract: A 34-year-old woman complained of a swelling in the midline of the mandible, present for about six months and diagnosed as ossifying fibroma. Because of the rapid development and the extent of the tumour, treatment consisted of a partial mandibulectomy, followed by immediate reconstruction with a free vascularized fibula transplant.
