    Abstract:
    Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, non-odontogenic tumor of the jaw which comes under the group of fibro-osseous lesions. Ossifying fibromas of the mandible are more common than in the maxillary region. Juvenile ossifying fibroma has been distinguished from conventional ossifying fibroma on the basis of patient's age, site predilection, and clinical behavior. The lesion should be differentiated from other fibro-osseous lesions as its management varies from surgical enucleation to complete resection. Present report describes the case of juvenile ossifying fibroma of anterior maxillary region in a 7 year old male patient, with a detailed description of clinical, radiographic, histopathologic features, and its surgical management.
