title: Cemento-ossyfying fibroma juvenile of the oral cavity.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Fibro-osseous neoplasm remains somewhat controversial, and differing concept have been advanced regarding their nature and the proper terminology for them. Cemento-ossyfying fibroma juvenile (JOF) is a rare type of fibro-osseous tumor as also been included under the "umbrella" of cemento-ossyfying fibroma. The JOF is most often seen in patients who are between 5 and 15 years of age. With this work we emphasize the importance of a correct diagnostic approach.  MATERIAL AND METHODS.: The case describes a form of cemento-ossyfying fibroma hight active and aggressive like JOF. The patient thirteen older showed from 2004 to 2008 three times the palatal lesion, it was performed with a incisional biopsy and excisional biopsy. The tumor were fixed in 10% buffered formalin embedded in paraffin cut into thick sections and stained with ematoxylineosin.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The incisional biopsy was inadequate to formulate a correct diagnosis. The histological exams have showed for three times different aspects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Some authors in the past have suggested different classification. The COFs show different clinical, histological and radiographical patterns.
