Abstract EN
Central odontogenic fibroma is a very rare benign odontogenic tumour characterized by a fibrous mature stroma with variable strands or islands of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium.
Our aim is to report a case of a central odontogenic fibroma and describe the clinical usefulness of Er:YAG laser for the surgical treatment of this tumour.
A 74-year-old woman presented with an expansive lesion located in a mandible with multilocular and mixed radiographic appearance.
A conservative excision using Er:YAG laser was performed.
Complete removal was obtained.
There were no postoperative complications.
The histopatologic features were consistent with the diagnosis of central odontogenic fibroma of rich-epithelium type.
No recurrence was observed during follow-up.
