Desmoplastic fibroma is a locally aggressive benign fibrous tumor of bone that has been reported in both the maxillofacial skeleton and the long bones. Desmoplastic fibroma of the extremities was first reported by Jaffe1 in 1958. The first description of this entity involving the jaws was reported by Griffith and Irby2 in 1965. In rare instances, multifocal desmoplastic fibromas have been repor...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a common solitary gingival overgrowth thought to arise from the gingival corium, periosteum or periodontal ligament. Ossifying fibroma has the propensity to occur in cranial bones, but the peripheral variety shows a close relationship with the periodontal ligament and adjacent alveolar bone. It is more commonly seen in women (predilection of 3:1) and usually at a...

Perineurioma is a rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor featuring perineurial differentiation. Perineurioma occurs sporadically with only one reported case in the setting of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). We present a 6.7-cm soft tissue perineurioma of the lower leg in a 51-year-old man with proven NF-1. The tumor displayed whorled and fascicular pattern with infiltrative margins and expr...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic criteria of Proteus syndrome include various lesions of localized overgrowth such as digital gigantism, hemihyperplasia with unilateral macrocephaly, epidermal nevus, and mesodermal hamartomas such as lipoma, lymphangioma, hemangioma, or fibroma. Hyperplasia of the plantar dermal tissue may result in a characteristic cerebriform appearance. However, hypoplastic lesions...

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...

Giant cell fibroma is a unique non neoplastic benign lesion of oral mucosa. It localised reactive proliferation fibrous connective tissue. Surprisingly, this has no specific association with chronic irritation. occurs most commonly in the first three decades life and according to Houston it female predilection. clinically presents as an asymptomatic pedunculate or sessile lump diverse confirmed...

Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor mostly occurring in the posterior region of the mandible. The peripheral variant is very rare and to the best of our knowledge, only three cases have been reported in the English literature. In this report, we describe a case of peripheral ameloblastic fibroma in a 54-year-old woman with two years of follow-up.

The peripheral cementifying fibroma (PCF) is a reactive gingival overgrowth occurring frequently in the maxillary anterior region in teenagers and young adults. We report a case of peripheral cementifying fibroma occurring on the buccal gingiva in relation to the mandibular left canine & first premolar region in a 27 year old female patient.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a mesodermal, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws. A case of mandibular molar enlargement that was treated previously by other surgeons and diagnosed as cemento-ossifying fibroma, is presented. Two recurrences occurred 4 and 8 years after surgery due to incomplete surgical removal.

Tumors were induced in adult and newborn rabbits by inoculation of fibroma virus. After 10 to 14 days, oil-induced peritoneal macrophages were harvested, purified, and tested in vitro for interferon synthesis after stimulation with specific and nonspecific viruses. Peritoneal macrophages from adult rabbits that had initiated tumor regression produced high levels of interferon (titers ranged fro...
