BACKGROUND Ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. CASE PRESENTATION We presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...

introduction: peripheral odontogenic tumors are rare and there is no valid information of the frequency of them in the literature. this study aims to obtain the frequency of these tumors. materials and methods: the files of oral and maxillofacial pathology (microscopic reports and slides), faculty of dentistry, shahid beheshti university of medical sciences served as the source of the material ...

Giant cell fibroma is an asymptomatic sessile or pedunculated nodule. It is a reactive localized proliferation of fibrous tissue. The appearance is similar to irritational fibroma. It is usually small but in some cases it can be large. A female patient aged 45 years presented with a overgrowth on maxillary gingival in on 12, 13 region. The lesion was asymptomatic, firm and fibrous in consistenc...

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 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...

rabbit fibroma in gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). The methods of preparation and passage of the squirrel fibroma virus and the performance of neutralization tests were described (17). Subsequently, passage of the virus in suckling squirrels was accomplished, and some unusual pulmonary lesions were found in one of the suck ling squirrels 50 days after inoculation (15). Gross ly, the lungs...

Central odontogenic fibroma is a very rare benign odontogenic tumour characterized by a fibrous mature stroma with variable strands or islands of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium. Our aim is to report a case of a central odontogenic fibroma and describe the clinical usefulness of Er:YAG laser for the surgical treatment of this tumour. A 74-year-old woman presented with an expansive lesio...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of coexisting irritation fibroma and myofibroma in oral mucosa. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION One case with two painless, nodular masses, adjacent to each other in the buccal mucosa, was clinically examined with a provisional diagnosis of irritation fibroma, salivary gland tumors, neurofibroma and schwannoma. Histological examination of the smaller swelling...

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an extremely rare benign intraosseus, locally aggressive bone tumor with an incidence of 0.11% of all primary bone tumors. The most common sites of involvement are the mandible and the metaphysis of long bones. Histologically and biologically, desmoplastic fibroma mimics extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. A 25-year male presented to outpatient department ...
