cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. it produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.in both jaws, it has a predilection for the...

BACKGROUND Fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws, including juvenile ossifying fibroma, pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to their clinical, radiological and histological variability. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of a 9 years old girl with diagnosed juvenile ossifying fibroma treatment. METHODS A 9 years old girl presented with a 6 x 8 cm sized hard fixed tumour ...

Within the confusing ray of fibro-osseous lesions, the so called juvenile ossifying Fibroma (JAOF) is perhaps the most enigmatic. Pathologists considering such a diagnosis are faced with a plethora of subjective and arbitrary criteria and will find little consolidation in the literature. Occupying a subset within the spectrum of ossifying Fibroma. JAOF is considered by many to be a unique lesio...

Juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma is a rare benign but locally aggressive tumor with high recurrent potentials. Juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma poses diagnostic challenges because of its rapidly growing nature. A 7-years-old female child presented to the pediatric unit of our institution with a 9-month history of right maxillary tumor. An initial diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma was ma...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is an expansive intraosseous lesion of the bones, comprising fibrous cell tissue that contains spheroid calcifications and randomly oriented mineralized structures. It is presented by patients under 15 years old. They are non-odontogenic lesions that imitate odontogenic lesions. The differential diagnosis is fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw, such as cemento-ossi...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a benign, bone-forming neoplasm occurring primarily in children and adolescents. JOF is an aggressive variant of ossifying fibroma of the jaw with a variable clinical behavior and a high tendency for recurrence. Early detection and prompt treatment are required to treat JOF successfully. This case report describes JOF in a 13-year-old girl presenting with a y...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion occurring in the craniofacial skeleton with a high recurrence rate. It has two distinct histopathologic variants: one trabecular and the other which are exclusive to each other. This case reveals a rare and unique combination of both the patterns in the same lesion.

Fibro-osseous benign lesions rarely affect the sinonasal tract and are divided into 3 different entities, namely osteoma, fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. They share several clinical, radiological and histological similarities, but have different behaviours. Ossifying fibroma, and in particular the "juvenile" histological subtype, may have a locally aggressive evolution and a high risk ...
