Abstract

Cementifying fibroma is a relatively rare odontogenic tumor with a predilection for the jaw bone. We reported here 4 cases of cementifying fibroma we had recently encountered.
The tumors of all 4 cases were surgically removed. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumorous lesions consisted of various amounts of fibrous tissues with extensive proliferation of cementum-like tissues.
Therefore, the tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as cementifying fibromas. The prognosis of these cases are favorable with no sign of recurrence.
