Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a benign, but potentially aggressive, fibro osseous tumour of the craniofacial bones 1 . The authors describe a case of a juvenile ossifying fibroma of mandible presenting in a 17-year-old girl who was managed by enucleation of the tumour and followed up for a period of 10 months with no signs of recurrence. This paper also reviews the histology, clinical behaviour and management of this uncommon but disfiguring lesion.
