"These tumours are composed of fibrous tissue, calcified tissue resembling bone and/or cementum 1,3. The bone-like component is predominant reminiscent of woven bone and is found in more 'mature' lesions 1. In some instances, this entity has been divided into cementifying fibroma and ossifying fibroma depending on the relative amounts of the tumour's constituent tissues. However, in most cases both features are present, warranting the generic term cemento-ossifying fibromas 1."

Moreover, confusion exists regarding its relationship to other similar entities with various definitions and debate as to whether it is of odontogenic or nonodontogenic osseous origin 1-6, although the 2005 WHO classification lists it as a "bone-related tumour" 7."
