A 41 year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of slowly progressive right buccal swelling. After further radiographic diagnosis surgical removal of the yellowish-white mass was performed. Histologic analysis showed proliferating histiocytic cells with foamy granular cytoplasm and no signs of malignancy. The tumor was positive for CD68 and vimentin in immunohistochemical staining. Therefore the tumor was diagnosed as primary benign fibrous histiocytoma. This work provides a new treatment device for benign mandibular tumour disease. By using a novel piezoelectric-assisted cutting device protection of the dentoalveolar nerve could be achieved. Keywords Piezosurgery benign fibrous histiocytoma mandibular tumor dentoalveolar nerve atraumatic bone surgery Background According to the WHO histological classification of tumors primary benign fibrous histiocytoma BFH of bone is defined as a benign lesion composed of spindleshaped fibroblasts arranged in a storiform pattern with a variable admixture of small multinucleated osteoclastlike giant cells. Foamy cells xanthoma chronic inflammatory cells stromal haemorrhages and haemosiderin pigment are also commonly present 1 . According to this classification there are less than 100 reported cases of BFH worldwide and only six reported cases in the mandible 2-7 . It is usually found in long bones especially femur and tibia and the pelvic bone but may occur in .
