ABSTRACT
A relatively uncommon disease, ossifying fibroma, occurs at the cranio-facial bones, mainly on mandible and maxilla. It is manifested usually as a painless, slow-growing, expansile lesion. Clinical differentiation should be made with other benign fibro-osseous lesions e. g. fibrous dysplasia. The prognosis is excellent after complete resection of the tumor.
Recently, we experienced one case of giant ossifying fibroma originated from hard palate and we report this case with a review of the literatures.
