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...

Juvenile ossifying fibroma considered as a variant of ossifying fibroma by some authors is rare. Its aggressive behavior necessitates early detection and proper surgical management. It may mimic different pathologic entities of jaw at different stages. A case report of juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma in a 12-year-old girl which was diagnosed, investigated and treated successfully is prese...

Cemeto-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the mandible and maxilla. The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the term “cementoossifying fibroma” by combining two entities, cementifying fibroma and ossifying fibroma in 1992. However in 2005 the entity was included under ossifying fibroma group. The tumor usually affects the young adults. Rarely, this tumor arises i...

cone beam computed tomography is a useful technique for imaging the craniofacial lesions. it produces more realistic images that facilitate interpretation. juvenile ossifying fibroma (jof) is a rare and benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones, especially in the maxilla. mandibular lesions can be seen in 10% of the cases.in both jaws, it has a predilection for the...

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...

INTRODUCTION Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous tumour. In the light of a clinical case, the authors review the diagnosis, treatment and histological classification of these tumours. CASE REPORT A seven-year-old child presented with a naso-orbito-ethmoidal trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma. Complete surgical resection via a transfacial approach was performed after ...

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...
