GARCIA-ROCO PEREZ, Oscar N.; CASTILLO BETANCOURT, Esther María  and  CORREA MORENO, Alfredo. Maxillary odontogenic fibroma: Apropos of a case. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The maxillary odontogenic fibroma is a rare tumor that appears in less than 0.1 % of the odontogenic tumors. Only  about 69 well documented cases have been reported in literature. Taking into account the casuistics, it was considered interesting to report a new case of a white 34-year-old male patient that referred marked  gingival inflammation in the region of the first right  maxillary molar that was diagnosed from the  clinical, imaging and histological point of view at “Manuel Ascunce Doménech”  Interprovincial Teaching Hospital, in Camagüey, and was operated on in 2002. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations reported in literature are given. The patient at the moment of  the interview  was rehabilitated and under control.

Keywords : Maxillary odontogenic fibroma [diagnosis]; maxillary odontogenic fibroma [therapeutics]; oral neoplasms.
