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...

This article describes a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a 12-year-old girl. Clinical, radiographic and histologic characteristics are discussed and recommendations regarding differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are provided. The importance of excellent communication with patients is emphasized. Many types of localized reactive lesions may occur on the gingiva, including foca...

Central cementifying fibroma is a rare non odontogenic tumor coming in the group of fibro osseous lesion, arising from periodontal ligament and is usually seen in tooth bearing area. It can affect both the mandible and the maxilla, particularly the mandible. This bone tumour consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum o...

juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare, benign, locally aggressive entity of the extragnathic craniofacial bones with a high tendency towards recurrence. two distinctive microscopic patterns of juvenile ossifying fibroma have been described: a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (trjof) and a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (pjof). psammomatoid variant is predominantly a craniofac...

Aim: This report presents a case of fibroma with its clinical features, treatment, and diagnosis follow up period.Background: Fibroma is the lesion that occur in response to stimulus within oral cavity, may result aesthetic functional issues related mastication. Peripheral ossifying considered be reactive, non-neoplastic exhibit variant characteristics. article describes reactive gingiva treatm...

central cementifying fibroma is a bony tumor, which is believed to be derived from the cells of the periodontal ligament. central cemento‑ossifying fibroma behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. this bone tumor consists of highly cellular, fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. central cemento‑ossifying fibromas of the mandible are co...

Introduction: The gingiva is often the site of localized growths that are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one such reactive lesion. This case report documents a case of a 15-year-old girl with a large peripheral ossifying fibroma in the posterior maxilla showing significant growth and interference with occlusion. Methods: Review of lit...

The gingiva is frequently the site of localised growths that are thought to be reactive rather than neoplastic. Many these lesions difficult identify clinically and can only identified as a distinct entity based on typical consistent histomorphology. One such lesion peripheral ossifying fibroma. It has been described using various synonyms arise from periodontal ligament, which accounts for app...

Objectives: Fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex comprise of a diverse, interesting and challenging group of conditions that pose difficulties in classification and treatment. The two most confused benign fibro-osseous lesions are fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. Sometimes, the classic clinical, radiologic or pathologic features of fibrous dysplasia or ossifying fibroma may...
