The most common clinical presentation is swelling. Diagnosis based on clinical observation only is challenging. Radiological images and histological findings can be misleading due to similitudes with other osteo\u2010fibrous lesions. We report a rare case of a 22\u2010year\u2010old female patient who presented with a painless mass in the upper right maxillary region that has been developing for 10\u2009years. On examination, this tumor was bulky, ulcerated, disfiguring, hard to the touch, and occupying the whole of nasal, malar and maxillary regions. CT scan showed a well\u2010circumscribed mass spanning from the right palatal and maxillary bones with mixed density content of soft tissue and diffuse calcified foci. The mass harbored dense bundles of fibrocollagenous connective tissue in a cellular stroma on histopathological examination. After a provisional diagnosis of osteoblastoma based on clinical and computed tomography features, the final diagnosis was based upon correlation of histopathological characteristics with both clinical and radiographic findings. A one\u2010time surgical resection was performed to enucleate the tumor. This was followed by curettage. The lateral maxillary location of this tumor makes it unusual. Henceforth, a proper conclusive diagnosis of cemento\u2010ossifying fibroma should be obtained from a histopathological study, in conjunction with clinical and radiological findings, and particular traits that the patient may present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.72757","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]],"date-time":"2026-05-22T09:18:52Z","timestamp":1779441532000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Maxillofacial Cemento\u2010Ossifying Fibroma: A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Alix N.","family":"Kamina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department Universit\u00e9 Officielle de Mbujimayi  Mbuji\u2010Mayi Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elis\u00e9e Ntambua","family":"Mbombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department Universit\u00e9 Officielle de Mbujimayi  Mbuji\u2010Mayi Democratic Republic of the Congo"},{"name":"Pathology Department Kamuzu University of Health Sciences  Blantyre Malawi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Badibanga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department HJ Hospital  Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8547-3153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Tague","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research Medical Research Circle (MedReC)  Goma Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Lutumba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitology Department University of Kinshasa  Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6088-2629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Criss","family":"Koba Mjumbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Department, Faculty of Medicine University of Lubumbashi  Lubumbashi Democratic Republic of the Congo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","volume-title":"Head and Neck Tumours","author":"WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0976-237X.94553"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","volume-title":"WHO Classification of Head and Neck Tumours","author":"El\u2010Naggar A.
