Overview
Ossifying fibroma was first described in 1872 by Menzel. In the year 1927 Montgomery coined the term “ossifying fibroma”. Chondromyxoid fibroma was first described in the year 1948 by H L Jaffe and L Lichtenstein. The non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) was first recognized in 1941 by Sontag and Pyle. Desmoplastic fibroma was first described in the year 1958 by H L Jaffe.
