title: A multilocular radiolucency with spindle cell proliferation in a case of ossifying fibroma: a potential pitfall.
abstract: Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a benign tumour characterized by cementum or bone formation accompanied by a fibrocellular stroma. The diagnosis of OF may be apparent when the histological features are supported by clinical and radiological information. In this report, an OF with predominantly spindle cell proliferation and purely radiolucent, multilocular lesion in a middle-aged woman is presented.
