Swelling may lead to various known and unknown diseases one among can be fibro osseous lesion. Central ossifying fibroma (COF) is classified as and behaves like a benign bone neoplasm. However, it is considered to be a type of fibro osseous lesion. The OF affecting the jaws exhibits a variable behaviour ranging from slow growth to occasionally aggressive local destruction; some cases recur after surgery. Most OFs grow slowly, and once completely excised do not recur, but a minority, particularly in children, exhibit rapid growth and a tendency to recur; they are generally called ‘'juvenile ossifying fibroma' ’We present an unusual case of a central ossifying fibroma in an unusual age.
