Abstract: Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a soft tissue neoplasm composed of both fibroblast and histiocyte cells. These lesions mostly occur in soft tissue and can present as a fibrous mass anywhere in the body. The involvement of the jawbone is extremely rare. The etiology of this entity remains obscure. Here, we report a case of BFH involving the maxilla. The clinicopathological features of this tumor involving the maxilla have been discussed with a brief literature review of this pathology involving the maxilla.
