Background Hyperparathyroidism-Jaw Tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder bearing both a germline and a somatic CDC73 mutation (formerly known as HRPT2), which has been mapped to chromosome 1q25-q31. The association of jaw ossifying fibroma with primary hyperparathyroidisim (PHPT) is typical of HPT-JT. It may also include cystic and neoplastic renal abnormalities and uterine tumors....

Central ossifying fibroma is a benign slow-growing tumor of mesenchymal origin and it tends to occur in the second and third decades of life, with predilection for women and for the mandibular premolar and molar areas. Clinically, it is a large asymptomatic tumor of aggressive appearance, with possible tooth displacement. Occasionally treated by curettage enucleation, this conservative surgical...

Introduction: The gingiva is often the site of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one such reactive lesion. This case report documents a case of a 15-year-old girl with a large peripheral ossifying fibroma in the posterior maxilla showing significant growth and interference with occlusion. Methods: Review of lit...

Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, S.K.S. Sarabha Dental College and Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab, India Department of Prosthodontics, Christian Dental College, Ludhiana, Punjab, India Abstract Central ossifying fibroma is a relatively rare, benign, nonodontogenic tumor of the jaw, a subdivision of fibro-osseous lesions. The lesion originates from periodontal membrane and is usually seen...

We present a case of a 40-year-old man with secondary fibrosarcoma of bone, arising from a non-ossifying fibroma. He subsequently developed metastatic disease that responded to four successive chemotherapy courses, the last three using the same dose/schedule of single agent ifosfamide. Eventual rapid progression of a huge intra-abdominal mass was associated with the syndrome of extrapancreatic ...

The presence of chronic renal disease (CRD) is a predisposing factor for the occurrence of soft and hard tissue lesions in the oral cavity. The cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is an uncommon benign fibroosseous lesion composed of fibrocellular component and calcified materials like cementum and woven bone. A 37-year-old female patient undergoing chronic haemodialysis reported to our institution...

BACKGROUND: Ossifying fibroma in the jaws is a benign tumor and easily recurs in children, of which the treatment methods and prognosis still remain controversial. In this study, we aimed to review the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of ossifying fibroma in the jaws of children, and offer recommendations for clinical decision-making. METHODS: A retrospective study ...

Cemento-Ossifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous lesions that affect the jaw bones and are included in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumours. Clinically, it is a large asymptomatic tumor of aggressive appearance. Four separate categories have been identified: Periapical cemental dysplasia, benign cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and a rare gigantiform variety. It has been suggested ...

The gingiva is frequently the site of localised growths that are thought to be reactive rather than neoplastic. Many these lesions difficult identify clinically and can only identified as a distinct entity based on typical consistent histomorphology. One such lesion peripheral ossifying fibroma. It has been described using various synonyms arise from periodontal ligament, which accounts for app...

Introduction Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive lesion of the oral cavity, usually seen in the gingiva. As POF occurs usually in the gingiva which is close to the periodontal ligament, origin is thought to be from the periodontal ligament (PDL). However POF is not a counterpart of the central ossifying fibroma but a reactive lesion of the gingiva. POF is commonly seen in the secon...
