Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion which was first described by Menzel in 1872. It is commonly seen in the head and neck regions and represents an aggressive pattern when the midface and paranasal sinuses are involved. We report a 36 years old white woman with OF in the right ethmoid sinus. Computed Tomography (CT) scan images showed a hyperdense mass. Transnasal endoscopic...

Cherubism is a rare, nonneoplastic, self-limiting fibro-osseous that occurs in children. Affected children usually appear normal at birth. Lesions are characterized by the replacement of bone with fibrovascular tissue containing many multinucleated giant cells. Most studies have reported cherubism to be familial and with bilateral involvement of the mandibles. The authors describe a nonfamilial...

In recent article which is published in your journal Crisan D et al. (1) has been reported an interesting article about noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis. They evaluated six serum marker panels (APRI, Forns, Fib-4, Hepascore, Fibro Test, Fibro meter) and transient elas-tography (TE) alone or in combination, for prediction of liver fibrosis stages in 446 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients...

tumours of odontogenic origin have been reported in various domestic animals. ameloblastic fibroodontomais a rare tumour derived from odontogenic epithelium and pulpal mesenchyme. plain andformalised sections from masses on the front of the cranial aspect of the jaw and the end of the tongue of acastrated beef cattle from an abattoir was submitted to mt pleasant laboratories, launceston, austra...

Abstract Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor, contains variable amounts of dental hard tissues. It is a controversial lesion.  Previously, it was considered as an individual tumor, but recently, the World Health  Organization (WHO) has defined it as a developing odontoma. It has histologic features of both ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. Ameloblastic f...

introduction: ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare, benign, asymptomatic tumor. the term ameloblastic fibro-odontoma was first used by hooker in 1967 as a separate lesion from ameloblastic odontoma.   case report: this case report describes an eleven years old female with large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the right maxillary sinus.   conclusion: there is a low potential for recurrence after...

BACKGROUND Mac-2 Binding Protein Glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) is a novel serological glyco-biomarker for staging liver fibrosis. Here, we aimed to evaluate the efficiency of serum M2BPGi in identifying liver fibrosis stages in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. METHODS Serum M2BPGi levels were evaluated in 680 patients with chronic hepatitis C and 164 healthy controls who u...

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor. It is a slow-growing generally asymptomatic lesion and more prevalent in children and adolescents. This article presents interesting case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma involving anterior maxilla of 15-year-old male patient. Occlusal radiograph showed a large, well-demarcated radiolucency with radiopaque areas and minia...
