Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma – A Case Report
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare fibro-osseous neoplasm in young children. JOF is defined as a variant of the ossifying fibroma, and latter includes juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) and juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF). Both variants involve the craniofacial bones with the trabecular variant being more common in the jaws and the psammomatoid variant being more common in the paranasal sinuses. This lesion is locally aggressive and spreads quickly. As it has a very high recurrence rate, complete excision is essential. A case of large JPOF involving right maxilla and other cranial bones in a 12 year old female patient with clinical, radiographic and histopathological features are presented. Surgical management and follow up is also emphasized.
