Ossifying fibroma is a slow growing benign neoplasm usually Involving bones of the skull and face, mainly mandible maxilla. The tumor composed bone that develops within fibrous connective tissue, sometimes with cementum-like calcifications. Clinical presentation asymptomatic, rarely presented facial asymmetry, swelling, pain, bowing long bones. Radiological investigations are computed tomograph...

Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumour that rarely involves the ethmoid sinuses and orbit. It is classified as a benign fibroosseous lesion, a term that is synonymous with a variety of lesions reported in the literature. Recurrence rate with deleterious effects in cases of extramandibular ossifying fibroma is the impetus for open en bloc resection of the tumour. Continuously evolvin...

Introduction: The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive gingival overgrowth occurring frequently in the anterior maxilla. It originates in the cells of the periodontal ligament and is more common in children and young adults. Case Report: In the current article a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) in the anterior maxillary gingiva is highlighted, which histologically showed c...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion occurring in the craniofacial skeleton with a high recurrence rate. It has two distinct histopathologic variants: one trabecular and the other which are exclusive to each other. This case reveals a rare and unique combination of both the patterns in the same lesion.

Ten patients with multiple non-ossifying fibromata are reported. All had associated extraskeletal congenital anomalies such as café-au-lait spots, mental retardation, hypogonadism or cryptorchidism, ocular anomalies or cardiovascular malformations. The radiographic picture and the distribution of the skeletal lesions are characteristic and constant. There are lucent areas in the shaft with a sc...

Cemento-ossifying Fibroma (COF) is an osteogenic benign neoplasm affecting the jaws and other craniofacial bones. It commonly presents as a progressively slow growing pathology, which can sometimes attain an enormous size, causing facial deformity. A case of a huge cemento-ossifying fibroma, appearing as a mandibular dumbell tumour in a male patient is documented, which caused massive bone dest...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm that usuallydevelops from gingiva, presenting as an exophytic smooth surfaced pink or red nodular mass that is sessile or is less frequently seen on a pedicle. From the Indian perspective, it is usually noticed in 5th-6th decades of life with female predilection. Microscopically, the tumour shows stratified squamous epithelium and highly cellula...

Fibro-osseous lesions encompass a category of histopathology characterized by the presence of a fibrous stroma with varying amounts of mineralized material resembling bone or cementum.One such fibro-osseous lesion is the rarely occurring juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF). No clear-cut criteria exist for separating this tumor from the more common forms of ossifying fibroma; however, these juvenil...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a condition characterized by excessive proliferation of bone forming mesenchymal cells which can affect one bone (monostotic type) or multiple bones (polyostotic type). It is predominantly noticed in adolescents and young adults. Fibrous dysplasia affecting the jaws is an uncommon condition. The most commonly affected facial bone is the maxilla, with facial asymmetry b...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POP) is a relatively common reactive gingival growth of uncertain pathogenesis.' In the literature, this pathologic lesion sometimes has been described as an ossifying fibroid epulis, a peripheral fibroma with calcification or a calcifying granuloma. In 1982, Gardner recommended that the only term used to describe this entity should be POP. POP are seen usually in ...
