    An ossifying fibroma was observed on the forehead of a 7-year-old Ongole bullock. Cryosurgery was performed over three sessions to remove the cricket ball-sized growth. Tissues undergoing cryonecrosis were curetted out before subsequent cryo applications. Histopathology confirmed it was an ossifying fibroma composed of fibroblastic cells and collagen surrounding osteoblasts and bony matrix. The bullock recovered fully without recurrence by 6 months post-cryosurgery. Ossifying fibromas are rare benign tumors seen in various species but most frequently reported in horses, often involving the mandible.
