Various terms have been suggested to describe non-ossifying fibroma including fibrous cortical defect, cortical desmoid, metaphyseal fibrous defect and non-osteogenic fibroma. Regardless of the term used, they probable all refer to abnormal osteoclastogenesis at the metaphyseal region. Non-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibrogenic tumor primarily affecting children and adolescents. It is the mos...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Reactive hyperplasias (RHs) are common oral mucosal lesions caused by irritation of the mu-cosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequencies of various types of oral RHs in a university clinic. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oral RH cases, undergone biopsy in a four-year period, were studied retrospectively. Data including age and gender as well as the location and clinic...

Ossifying fibroma of the jaw is a benign fibroosseous tumour. The growth of it is slowly and it is well circumscribed. Occurrence of multiple ossifying fibromas (synchronous) is rare in the jaw, and only a few cases have been documented. The most of these cases were in only maxilla. The fewer cases were reported in both of maxilla and mandible. We report a case of bilateral synchronous ossifyin...

cemento-ossifying fibroma is a fibro-osseous lesion that has benign neoplastic behavior. we report two cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma (cof) and review the literature in order to study the imaging findings of cof. it is almost unavoidable that diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia from cof will be complicated by the fact that some pathologic features are shared by both lesions. so the final definit...

Ossifying fibromas form a part of the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws. They are rare, benign, nonaggressive tumors that are commonly seen in head and neck region. This paper presents the case of a 40-year-old female patient presented with minimal clinical symptoms, diagnosed to be suffering from aggressive form of ossifying fibroma of maxilla involving the maxillary sinus and ethm...

introduction: non-ossifying fibroma (nof) is a relatively common benign and non-neoplastic lesion in long bones of children and adolescents. as far as very few cases of nof have been reported in jaws and what was managed to be found regarding all reported cases having occurred only in the mandible, in this article we are going to report a case of maxillary nof in a 38-year-old female.

PURPOSE Reported clinicopathologic studies on the peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF), a reactive gingival lesion, have not addressed the pediatric population in specific detail. This study, the first devoted to children, investigated the clinical features of a large number of POFs and compared the findings to cases reported in the English language literature. METHODS Detailed clinical and his...

Ossifying fibroma of the sellar turcica is extremely rare. There are only sporadic case reports in the literature. One such case simulating pituitary adenoma is presented in an 18-year-old girl.
