Abstract
A patient with multiple odontogenic fibroma-like tumors in the mandible and enamel dysplasia is presented, bringing the total number of cases reported in the literature to 3. In addition to these manifestations, this case had hypodontia. The absence of associated teeth, the size of the lesions, the lingual expansion, and the green-yellow polarization of collagen with Picrosirius stains supported the neoplastic nature of the central odontogenic fibroma-like tumors in the case presented. Laminated psammomatous deposits distinguished the tumors from the World Health Organization-type central odontogenic fibroma.Entities:
