Ossifying Fibroma of the Mandible: A Case Report Using Vascularized Free Fibula Flap Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of ossifying fibroma of the mandible in a 38-year-old woman. The mandibular resection involved the disarticulation of the condyle while preserving the articular disc. The segmental bony defect was then reconstructed with free fibula flap; the additional contouring of the distal fibular flap was performed during surgery to restore the patient's condylar function. A 2-year follow-up revealed the maintenance of excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes.

متن کاملLow-grade osteosarcoma arising from cemento-ossifying fibroma: a case report
Cemento-ossifying fibromas are benign tumors, and, although cases of an aggressive type have been reported, no cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma transforming into osteosarcoma have been documented previously. Low-grade osteosarcoma is a rare type of primary bone tumor, representing 1%-2% of all osteosarcomas. A 45-year-old female patient was diagnosed with cemento-ossifying fibroma, treated wi...
متن کاملCase Report: Soft tissue reconstruction using Free gingival graft after excision of Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma
Abstract Reactive soft tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity. These lesions usually occur as a painless non-neoplastic proliferation. Surgical excision of these lesions will cause aesthetic and mucogingival problems in the area. In this case, a prominent lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 40-year-old woman had recurred after two years. Surgical treatment was performed with complete ...
متن کاملPlacement of implants in the mandible reconstructed with free vascularized fibula flap: comparison of 2 cases.
The reconstruction of mandibular continuity defects after tumor resection with free vascularized bone flaps is considered to be a treatment option. Although the fibula flap presents many advantages, it does not offer sufficient bone height to restore the alveolar arch when reconstruction involves a dentate mandible. In this report, 2 patients who were referred to our clinic with reconstructed m...
متن کاملGiant Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma of the Posterior Mandible-A Rare Case Report
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 fibrom...
