Maxillofacial fibro-osseous lesions are a generic designation of a group of jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of bone by a connective tissue matrix, which displays varying degrees of mineralization in the form of woven bone or of cementum-like structures indistinguishable from “cementicles”.1 These lesions are of particular interest to the maxillofacial radiologist because they emp...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm of the bone, usually involving the posterior tooth bearing area of the mandible, predominantly seen in females in 2nd-4th decade of life with 5:1 prediliction. Fibro-osseous lesions other than FD seem to arise from the periodontal membrane. These lesions are usually asymptomatic, well defined clinically and radiologically amenable for enucleation. Fibro-os...

rabbit fibroma in gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). The methods of preparation and passage of the squirrel fibroma virus and the performance of neutralization tests were described (17). Subsequently, passage of the virus in suckling squirrels was accomplished, and some unusual pulmonary lesions were found in one of the suck ling squirrels 50 days after inoculation (15). Gross ly, the lungs...

Central odontogenic fibroma is a very rare benign odontogenic tumour characterized by a fibrous mature stroma with variable strands or islands of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium. Our aim is to report a case of a central odontogenic fibroma and describe the clinical usefulness of Er:YAG laser for the surgical treatment of this tumour. A 74-year-old woman presented with an expansive lesio...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of coexisting irritation fibroma and myofibroma in oral mucosa. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION One case with two painless, nodular masses, adjacent to each other in the buccal mucosa, was clinically examined with a provisional diagnosis of irritation fibroma, salivary gland tumors, neurofibroma and schwannoma. Histological examination of the smaller swelling...

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an extremely rare benign intraosseus, locally aggressive bone tumor with an incidence of 0.11% of all primary bone tumors. The most common sites of involvement are the mandible and the metaphysis of long bones. Histologically and biologically, desmoplastic fibroma mimics extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. A 25-year male presented to outpatient department ...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaw containing varying amounts of calcified deposits such as bone, cementum or both. This type of lesion is referred to as dysplastic or neoplastic in nature. In 2000, a 52-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic complaining of a giant swelling in the mandibular premolar-molar region. A histopathological diagnosis of ossifying f...

A case of a slow growing painless swelling of the dorsum of the hand in reported. The swelling was excised along with the corresponding rendon slip. A cortical window was made in the underlying metacarpal and the medullary cavity examined to rule out medullary extension. The histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis as Desmoplastic Fibroma. Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign tumor of myo...
