Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm that usuallydevelops from gingiva, presenting as an exophytic smooth surfaced pink or red nodular mass that is sessile or is less frequently seen on a pedicle. From the Indian perspective, it is usually noticed in 5th-6th decades of life with female predilection. Microscopically, the tumour shows stratified squamous epithelium and highly cellula...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare, benign, locally aggressive entity of the extragnathic craniofacial bones with a high tendency towards recurrence. Two distinctive microscopic patterns of juvenile ossifying fibroma have been described: a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TrJOF) and a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF). Psammomatoid variant is predominantly a craniofac...

BACKGROUND Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is a distinct type of fibroma with characteristic large, stellate mononuclear or multinucleated giant fibroblasts; the stroma of GCF is relatively unexplored. The Picrosirus red polarizing microscopy technique is used to characterize the collagen fibers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the staining properties of collagen fibers in GCF and to correlate i...

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign primary bone tumor that is histologically similar to the soft tissue desmoid tumor. It most often involves the mandible, large long bone or iliac bone. Desmoplastic fibroma in a toe has been extremely rarely reported. Authors report a rare case of desmoplastic fibroma of bone occurring in the distal phalanx of a foot, with descriptions of the radiographic a...

Localized gingival growths are one of the maximum regularly encountered lesions within oral cavity, which taken into consideration to be reactive as opposed neoplastic. Those encompass pyogenic granuloma, inflammation fibroma, peripheral large cellular and ossifying fibroma (POF). Among those lesions, Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma (POF) is an occasionally happening non-neoplastic growth with reg...

Aim: Ovarian fibroma, fibrothecoma and thecoma are benign neoplasia of the ovary. The aim this study is to analyze clinical characteristics, histopathological results surgical management ovarian fibroma/fibrothecoma.Materials Methods: This a retrospective 51 cases who underwent treatment because adnexial mass. reported as fibroma/fibrothecomas were analyzed.Results: mean age patients 58.7 years...

We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with chondromyxoid fibroma of the sphenoid sinus. Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare bone tumor found most prevalently in long bones, so its presence at the cranial base is especially uncommon. The presence of a monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS) prompted consideration and investigation of a plasma cell disorder; however, CT and MRI f...

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...

A naturally occurring cutaneous fibroma of deer has proven to be experimentally transmissible in deer. The causative agent is a virus that is readily alterable through Berkefeld N candles and that survives in fibroma tissue for at least as long as 27 months in glycerol-saline at -20 degrees C. The experimentally produced deer fibroma has an incubation period of about 7 weeks, a very slow rate o...

Intraarticular synovial fibroma is extremely rare with only 14 known cases reported in the literatures. Descriptions and illustrations about the imaging features are also limited. We hereby present a case of synovial fibroma in the knee joint which shares similar imaging features and clinical presentations with localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). Therefore, it is important that s...
