The term Juvenile (aggressive) ossifying fibroma was used in the World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumors to describe a lesion affecting the jaws of children under the age of 15 year. Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a variant of cemento-ossifying fibroma which is classified under Fibro-osseous neoplasm by Charles A Waldron in the year 1993. Although JOF can occur anywhere in the skeleton, its highest incidence is in the facial bones, most commonly the maxilla. Mandibular and extracranial involvement are rare. The juvenile forms of ossifying fibroma are uncommon but they should be recognized and managed appropriately in view of their distinctive behaviour. Here we report a rare case of Juvenile Psammomatoid Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of right side of mandible in a 13 year old male patient.
