Resumo
Objective: The aim of this report is present an aggressive re current case of central odontogenic fibroma (COF) with tooth
resorption in anterior maxilla, and discuss both events based
on literature. Case description: A 29-year-old woman was re ferred for examination of a non-swelling intraosseous lesion
detected by routine radiographic exams for orthodontic plan ning. Panoramic exam revealed a well-defined multiloculated
radiolucency in the right anterior maxilla. Periapical radiogra phy highlighted dental resorption of canine and first premolar.
After the incisional biopsy the COF diagnosis was confirmed.
Tumor was removed by enucleation. Recurrence was detected
three years later and the lesion was removed together with in volved teeth. No indication of recurrence has been observed in
the past eight years. Conclusion: COF is a benign tumor and
can be aggressive. Recurrence and root resorption simultane ously are rare features reported in literature. The treatment
must include tooth removal and curettage. Prognosis is good
and follow-up is important.
