Introduction: Central odontogenic fibroma is an uncommon benign ectomesenchymal and somewhat controversial tumor of the jaw. This lesion is seen in all age groups and in both the mandible and maxilla.Case report: In this report, a rare case of central odontogenic fibroma with the simple type predominance is presented in a 57-year-old man in the right maxillary canine edentulous region. The lesion was surgically removed. After enuleation and curettage, no recurrence was recorded during the next six months. Conclusion: Microscopically, because of histopathologic variability, two common variants have been described for COF: Simple and WHO type. However, this microscopic differentiation may be academic because it appears to have no correlation with clinical behavior of the two variants. Key words: Central odontogenic fibroma, Simple type, Maxilla, Recurrence.
