were reviewed. Clinical data were obtained from the patient files and the radiographic features were evaluated in each case. All cases were reviewed microscopically to confirm the diagnosis. Eight cases were identified, 5 in females and 3 in males. The mean age of the patients was 33.7 years and most lesions (7 cases) occurred in the mandible. Radiographically, all lesions appeared as unilocular images and most of them (5 cases) were of mixed type. The mean size of the tumor was 3.1 cm and 3 cases caused displacement of the involved teeth. Microscopically, all cases showed several bone-like mineralized areas, immersed in the cellular connective tissue. From the 8 cases, 5 underwent surgical excision and 1 patient refused treatment. In the remaining 2 cases, this information was not available. In conclusion, OF occurs more commonly in women in the fourth decade of life, frequently as a mixed radiographic image in the mandible. Coherent differential diagnoses are important to guide the most adequate clinical approach. A correlation between clinical, imaginological and histopathological features is the key to establish the correct diagnosis.
