Central Odontogenic Fibroma (COF) is a rare, benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that makes up less than 5% of odontogenic tumors commonly found in women in ratio 2.8:1.

In this article reporting a case of COF (Epithelium Rich-type) in the maxilla radiographically presented as a well-defined radiolucent and radiopaque lesion retarding the first premolar from erupting plus reviewing the literature about COF including its variants.
