central cementifying fibroma is a bony tumor, which is believed to be derived from the cells of the periodontal ligament. central cemento‑ossifying fibroma behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. this bone tumor consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. central cemento‑ossifying fibromas of the mandible are co...

Objectives: Fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex comprise of a diverse, interesting and challenging group of conditions that pose difficulties in classification and treatment. The two most confused benign fibro-osseous lesions are fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. Sometimes, the classic clinical, radiologic or pathologic features of fibrous dysplasia or ossifying fibroma may...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm of the bone, usually involving the posterior tooth bearing area of the mandible, predominantly seen in females in 2nd-4th decade of life with 5:1 prediliction. Fibro-osseous lesions other than FD seem to arise from the periodontal membrane. These lesions are usually asymptomatic, well defined clinically and radiologically amenable for enucleation. Fibro-os...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaw containing varying amounts of calcified deposits such as bone, cementum or both. This type of lesion is referred to as dysplastic or neoplastic in nature. In 2000, a 52-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic complaining of a giant swelling in the mandibular premolar-molar region. A histopathological diagnosis of ossifying f...

A case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in the mandibular gingiva of a 30-year-old man is described. The lesion was asymptomatic, firm, pinkish red and pedunculated histologically showing cellular, fibrous connective tissue stroma with calcified osseous and cementum-like calcifications. Lesions histologically similar to peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) have been given various names in th...

Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign neoplasm that usually affects mandibular and maxillary bones. In this report, we present a case of sinonasal ossifying fibroma with fluid-fluid levels and posterior extension toward the torus tubarius on MR images.

Maxillofacial fibro-osseous lesions are a generic designation of a group of jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of bone by a connective tissue matrix, which displays varying degrees of mineralization in the form of woven bone or of cementum-like structures indistinguishable from “cementicles”.1 These lesions are of particular interest to the maxillofacial radiologist because they emp...

Ossifying fibroma of the vertebra is a very rare condition. We report a 16-year-old boy with ossifying fibroma of the third lumbar vertebra. Neurological and laboratory examinations demonstrated normal findings. Low-back pain, in the absence of radicular pain, was the presenting symptom. Plain radiography and computerized tomography scanning revealed an osteolytic lesion. The tumor in the third...

INTRODUCTION Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous tumour. In the light of a clinical case, the authors review the diagnosis, treatment and histological classification of these tumours. CASE REPORT A seven-year-old child presented with a naso-orbito-ethmoidal trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma. Complete surgical resection via a transfacial approach was performed after ...
