Fibro-osseous lesions of bone have evolved over several decades to integrate two major entities: Fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma along with the other entities such as periapical dysplasia, osteitis deformans, hyperparathyroidism and Paget's disease with hypercementosis in the late stages. A case of a young adult male with maxillary ossifying fibroma measuring about × 6 cm in the upper right quadrant is presented herein. The patient was managed surgically by a conservative intra-oral approach preserving the median nasal base, orbital floor and the palatal shelf. The patient was later rehabilitated by a tooth- supported removable dental prosthesis. A review of literature regarding the course, prognosis and the management of maxillary cemento-ossifying fibroma is also discussed.
