Ossifying odontogenic fibroma: A rare case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Odontogenic fibroma (OF) is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm that is most commonly found in the mandibular/premolar region of female patients in the second to fourth decades of life. Well-defined radiolucent lesions that may induce root resorption are normally observed. Rare variants of OF have been described in the prior literature, including references to: 1) giant cell lesions, 2) amyloid-like protein deposition, and 3) ossifying variants. Immunohistochemistry can contribute to understanding the biological behavior and the pathogenesis of OF. Therefore, this case report aimed to describe a new case of ossifying OF and discuss the histopathology and immunohistochemical features. Key words:Odontogenic fibroma, jaw tumors, ossifying variant.

متن کاملPeripheral Ameloblastic Fibroma: Report of a Rare Case
Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor mostly occurring in the posterior region of the mandible. The peripheral variant is very rare and to the best of our knowledge, only three cases have been reported in the English literature. In this report, we describe a case of peripheral ameloblastic fibroma in a 54-year-old woman with two years of follow-up.
متن کاملAmeloblastic Fibroma of Anterior Maxilla – a Case Report
Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumour. Its usual site of occurrence is the posterior mandible, with very few cases being reported from the maxilla. The true nature of the lesion hamartomatous or neoplastic – is still a point of debate. Here, we report a case of ameloblastic fibroma in the anterior maxilla.
متن کاملPeripheral Odontogenic Fibroma in a Young Child: A Literature Review and a Report of a Rare Case
Peripheral odontogenic tumors (POTs) are uncommon, and even rarer in the pediatric population. A peripheral odontogenic fibroma (PODF) is the most numerous POT in the general and pediatric populations. The purpose of this paper was to report an unusual case of PODF in a very young child who was born at 29 weeks’ gestation. The literature on PODFs in the pediatric population is reviewed.
