Cemento-ossifying Fibroma
- Approximately one-half of all cases of cemento-ossifying fibromas are asymptomatic, however the growth of the tumor over time may lead to the following symptoms:
- Facial asymmetry
- Facial discomfort or pain
Non-ossifying Fibroma
- The majority of non-ossifying fibromas are probably asymptomatic: However larger lesions may be painful and may weaken the bone enough to predispose to pathological fracture.
