Peripheral cemento-ossifying �broma is a relatively rare tumour classi�ed between �broosseous lesions. It predominantly affects adolescents and young adults, with peak prevalence between 10 and 19 yrs. e cemento-ossifying �broma is a central neoplasm of bone as well as periodontium which has caused considerable controversy because of confusion regarding terminology and the criteria for its diagnosis. e cemento-ossifying �broma is odontogenic in origin, whereas ossifying �broma is of bony origin. Lesions histologically similar to peripheral ossifying �broma have been given various names in existing literature. erefore, we present and discuss in this paper a series of cases of peripheral cemento-ossifying �broma emphasizing the differential diagnosis. 1.

Cemento-ossifying �broma is a relative rare lesion considered as an osteogenic tumor periodontal ligament [6]. PCOF affects both genders, but (nonodontogenic) with variable expressiveness. It is de�ned a higher predilection for females has been reported in the as a well-demarcated and occasionally encapsulated lesion literature [4]. With respect to race, there is a predominance in consisting of �brous tissue containing variable amounts of Whites (71 ) compared to Blacks (36 )[7]. It may occur at mineralized material resembling bone (ossifying �broma), any range, but exhibits a peak incidence between the second cementum (cementifying �broma), or both [2, 3].
