Odontogenic fibroma is an extremely rare benign tumour that accounts for 0.1 % of all odontogenic tumours. It appears as an asymptomatic expansion of the cortical plate of the Mandible or Maxilla. Radiologically it presents as a Unilocular or Multilocular radiolucency. It responds well to surgical enucleation with no tendency for recurrence. Here we describe a case of Odontogenic fibroma in Maxillary right anterior region in a 17-year-old female. The lesion was surgically removed and analyzed histopathologically. Based on clinical, radiographic and histological findings a diagnosis of Odontogenic fibroma was made and patient was advised a long-term follow- up. There has been no sign of recurrence even seven years postoperatively.
