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...

A 19-year-old man with refractory generalized epilepsy related to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (figure 1) complained of chronic left facial swelling. Physical examination disclosed typical mucocutaneous findings of TSC (hypomelanotic macules, shagreen patch, ungual fibromas, facial angiofibromas) and a hardened well-limited mass in his left maxilla, evidenced as an odontogenic extensive lef...

BACKGROUND Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor that occurs mostly in the jaw, but also affects paranasal sinuses and fronto-ethmoidal complex. Occipital bone is an extremely rare location for these tumors; only two cases have been reported. METHODS We present the first case reported as psammomatoid subtype of ossifying fibroma, according to the 2005 WHO classification. An 18 years o...

Ossifying fibroma is a slow growing benign neoplasm usually Involving bones of the skull and face, mainly mandible maxilla. The tumor composed bone that develops within fibrous connective tissue, sometimes with cementum-like calcifications. Clinical presentation asymptomatic, rarely presented facial asymmetry, swelling, pain, bowing long bones. Radiological investigations are computed tomograph...

Introduction: The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive gingival overgrowth occurring frequently in the anterior maxilla. It originates in the cells of the periodontal ligament and is more common in children and young adults. Case Report: In the current article a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in the anterior maxillary gingiva is highlighted, which histologically showed c...

Large, atypical peripheral ossifying fibromas are known as giant peripheral ossifying fibromas. These lesions have often been associated with heterogeneous clinical and radiographic characteristics subsequently leading to their misdiagnosis. Biopsies have been the gold standard for the diagnosis of such lesions. This study reports on an acute presentation of giant peripheral ossifying fibroma, ...

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 The clinicopathologic characteristics of multiple ossifying fibroma (OF) are unclear due to the condition's rarity, making diagnosis challenging. Sporadic multiple OFs must be distinguished from hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome (HPT-JT) related OF and other fibro-osseous lesions. METHODS Multiple OF cases were identified from ossifying fibroma cases. Clinical data including ...

Cemento-ossifying Fibroma (COF) is an osteogenic benign neoplasm affecting the jaws and other craniofacial bones. It commonly presents as a progressively slow growing pathology, which can sometimes attain an enormous size, causing facial deformity. A case of a huge cemento-ossifying fibroma, appearing as a mandibular dumbell tumour in a male patient is documented, which caused massive bone dest...
