Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a rare myofibroblastic tumor, locally aggressive, benign lesion that histologically resembles a desmoid tumor of the soft-tissue. It was initially described in 1958 by Jaffe, who separated it as a distinct entity from other intraosseous fibrous tumors. This tumor constitutes <1% of bone tumors and about 0.3% of all benign osseous tumors and it usually involves th...

Fibroma is one of the most common soft tissue benign tumors of the oral cavity. These masses represent hyperplasias instead of true neoplasm, which develop due to irritation to the mucosal tissue resulting in proliferation of the cells. Although so common in the oral cavity, its occurrence on the palate is rare, mainly due to fewer chances of trauma. Here, we report a case of palatal fibroma in...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibroosseous lesion that contains fibrous tissue and calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum or both. It is frequently seen in the mandibula and maxilla, but it may rarely affect the ethmoid sinus. In this report, we presented computed tomography findings of an ossifying fibroma of the ethmoid sinus associated with exophthalmos. A 25-year-old woman prese...

Isolated soft tissue enlargements seen in the oral cavity are generally a reactive hyperplasia and rarely neoplastic. Irritation fibroma is a benign tumor of fibrous connective tissue that can be considered a reactionary connective tissue hyperplasia in response to trauma and irritation. It is a gingival lesion of reactive nature with unknown etiology. As the lesion occurs due to continuous tra...

The giant cell fibroma is a localized reactive proliferation of fibrous tissue, much like the irritation fibroma. It usually small, may have be sessile/peduncalated. It is painless, often has lobules/ nodules on its surface. It contains cells with large, stellate shaped fibroblasts, near the surface of the fibrous mass, beneath the overlying epithelium. A female patient aged 45 years presented ...

Melanonychia corresponds to color patterns in the nail plate, ranging from brown to black. It is a diagnostic challenge due to the fact it has several differential diagnoses, including benign and malignant entities. There are no reports of pigmented fibroma of the nail matrix causing striata (or longitudinal) melanonychia. In light of this fact, the authors report a case of melanonychia striata...

A brief history of the introduction of Shape's fibroma virus into the Australian rabbit scene, outlining some of the emotions generated and some of their causes is given. Immunisation of rabbits against myxomatosis using Shape's fibroma is still banned in Australia except in approved scientific'institutions. The arguments leading to this ban are examined and rejected. Options for future protect...

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign growth, considered to originate from the periodontal ligament. It is often encapsulated and predominantly located in the mandible, and presents as a slow-growing lesion, but may cause deformity if left untreated. The definitive diagnosis of these lesions requires integration of its clinical, radiological and histological features. We present a case of cemen...

Fibroid uterus is the most common benign tumor of uterus. Extrauterine fibroids are rare and extra uterine fibroid broad ligament fibroid. Broad difficult to diagnose treat. Most often misdiagnosed as ovarian malignancy. In our case fibroma was suspected ultrasound pelvis,CT MRI reports suggestive fibroma. Intraoperative findings fibroid, excision done along with abdominal total hysterectomy bi...
