Central fibromas developing from within the jaw bone are comparatively rare in contrast to fibromatoid lesions in other parts of the oral region. We report a 13-year-old girl with a central fibroma which developed in the jaw bone.

INTRODUCTION Fibro-osseous lesions constitute a rare benign type of pathology with a non-odontogenic lineage that affect the craniofacial area. According to Waldrom's classification, these lesions are divided into: fibrous dysplasia (FD), cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) and desmoplastic fibroma (DF). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with fibro-oss...

Swelling of jaws with mixed opacity and lucency can have a spectrum of differential diagnosis, which includes odontogenic tumors, fibro‐osseous lesions and rarely the connective tissue neoplasms. With respect to the fibro‐osseous lesions, most of the time, histopathological features will be overlapping. In such cases, it is very important to arrive at a precise diagnosis for better treatment pl...

Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be cases of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS), a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and other various benign and malignant tumors. This case report describes a 25 year-old female w...

INTRODUCTION Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, or Gorlin syndrome, is an inherited disorder characterized by malignancies of the skin and other organs, skeletal abnormalities, and congenital malformations. The syndrome follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with a gene mutation localized to 9q22.3. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 22-year-old Caucasian woman with a un...
