Abstract Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor of nondental origin. Fibroma of this type is mixed with osseous elements in varying amounts. It has been described as ossifying fibroma, osseous fibroma, fibro-osteoid osteoma, central osteoma, sclerosing fibroma, hypertrophic localized osteitis, localized osteodystrophic fibroma and localized osteitis fibrosa.1 Ewing2 called this type of growth secondary osteoma since it appears as a result of secondary ossification of the connective tissue. Because of the comparative rarity of the tumor and clinical unfamiliarity with it, some observers have unwittingly treated it as a cancer, needlessly subjecting the patient to a radical resection, often with disastrous cosmetic results. REPORT OF THREE CASES The data on the first 2 of the 3 cases to be reported originated from the Research and Educational Hospital of the University of Illinois.A histologic study of the first case was recently reported by Dr. Hans Brunner.3Case 1.—The patient was References 1.
