This article presents a unique case of multifocal peripheral cemento - ossifying fibroma in a 42 year old female involving both maxillary and mandible arch. The lesion was asymptomatic, slow-growing, sessile and normal mucosal color. An excisional biopsy has performed for the lesion and was diagnosed with peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma after histological investigation.
