Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) has been described as a rare, slow-growing tumor of the jaw with odontogenic ectomesenchymal origin. Odontomas are hamartomatous developmental malformations.

Description
Summary:Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) has been described as a rare, slow-growing tumor of the jaw with odontogenic ectomesenchymal origin. Odontomas are hamartomatous developmental malformations. The occurrence of complex odontomas is rare. These two separate odontogenic tumors have not been reported previously as occurring simultaneously. Here, we present an unusual case of coincidental co-occurrence of COF (WHO type) and two complex odontomas in a 10-year-old boy.
