{Abstract}: Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign odontogenic neoplasm. It is considered an ossifying fibroma with traces of interspersed cementum fragments. Here we present a case report of the occurrence of COF in the maxillary anterior region of an elderly woman. A 61-year-old female reported with a painless, progressive, slow-growing swelling on the upper front jaw region for the past five years. A single, localized, swelling on the anterior region of the maxilla which was non-tender and bony hard in consistency. Radiological examination consisting of orthopantomagram (OPG) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed increased thickness of bone over frontal, parietal and maxilla with alteration of trabecular pattern - cotton wool/ground glass. Serum alkaline phosphatase level was found to be 865 U/l, however, serum calcium level and other routine blood investigations (hemogram) were within normal limits. The above radiological and laboratory findings are more in favour of primary bone pathology and with a biopsy later correlating with histopathological findings; it was diagnosed as COF. Under conscious sedation, surgical excision of the bony mass was done along with extraction of associated teeth. The patient is currently on regular follow-up and planning for a dental prosthesis is in progress.
