Ossifying fibroma is a nonneoplastic developmental disease of osseous tissue seen rarely in association with Sturge-Weber syndrome. It is a lesion of unknown aetiology, uncertain pathogenesis, and diverse histopathology. The aim of this study is to report an unusual case of in a 11-year-old male of SWS. The rarity of the case and the fact that ossifying fibroma may be associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome propelled us to report it. Physical examination showed facial asymmetry (due to hemifacial swelling) without any tenderness, fluctuation, ocular pain, or ophthalmoplegia. Imaging studies revealed a solid mass involving the left maxilla and orbital floor. A conservative therapeutic approach to these lesions may be sufficient to relieve signs and symptoms effectively. Periodic follow-up is indicated to detect recurrences or malignant changes in the early stages.
