Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare benign tumor usually affects the first two decades of life. The neoplasm more predominant in mandibular molar-premolar region and rarely maxilla. In this report, we present couple cases, affecting boys at their 1st decade. lesions were presented as swellings maxilla, which atypical location. Radiographic images showed well-defined radiolucency containing areas rad...

Central Ossifying Fibroma in mandible: A Case Report with aggrasive behavior review of differential dragwsis

OBJECTIVE To perform a comparative study of the cellular proliferation in the peripheral and central fibromas. MATERIAL AND METHODS Immunohistochemistry for PCNA and the AgNOR technique were performed in 9 cases of peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POF), in 4 cases of odontogenic fibroma (OdF), in 8 cases of peripheral ossifying fibroma (PEOF) and 7 cases of ossifying fibroma (OsF). The Kruskal...

A 35-year-old man visited us with a chief complaint of painful swelling of the finger. A physical examination revealed a palpable mass, measuring approximately 2 cm × 1 cm, on the dorsoradial side of the base of the middle phalanx of the right index finger (Fig. 1A). Upon history taking, we found that the mass had formed 7 to 8 years before and had since grown slowly. The mass had a firm, hard,...

A nuchal fibroma is a rare benign mass; it is a fibrolipoma-like soft tissue mass, usually located in the lower back and the neck. Males are affected far more often than females. It can occur extranuchally. It is a slow growing tumor and usually asymptomatic. We present a rare case of a 39-year old female who was diagnosed with nuchal-type fibroma on final pathology. The proper management for t...

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour, with both epithelial and mesenchymal neoplastic proliferation. It occurs most frequently in the posterior region of the mandible, while its occurrence in the maxilla is extremely rare. They are usually encountered in children, emphasizing it as an important diagnostic consideration. Herein, we report the first case of a bilater...

The peripheral ossifying fibroma, a benign gingival overgrowth, occurs mainly in the anterior portion of the maxilla in young adults. The size of the lesion is usually less than 1.5 cm. We report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma overlying the mandibular alveolar ridge of a 55-year-old female. MR scans showed a large exophytic soft tissue mass overlying mandibular alveolar ridge. The tumor...

Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare, benign, fibrous, tumor-like proliferation characterized by dense hypocellular bundles of collagen, with sparsely scattered fibroblasts, interspersed fat tissue, and entrapped nerve fibers. It usually develops in the posterior neck as a solitary, firm, poorly circumscribed, subcutaneous mass. Herein, we report about a 32-year-old man who presented with a 6-year his...
