Description

ABSTRACT: 
    Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma  is a rare entity that affects all age groups and is grouped as a variant 
of ossifying fibroma. PsOF is grouped under benign fibro-osseous lesion as a separate entity. The lesion 
is seen in all age groups and is not restricted to younger age only. It is highly aggressive and needs to be 
differentiated from other benign fibro-osseous lesions that are not aggressive. The lesion typically 
affects paranasal sinuses commonly and shows presence of ossicles known as a psammoma bodies. The 
classification of this lesion has seen a dramatic change over a period of 2 decades. We hereby report a 
case of Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma of mandible with review of literature.
