Abstract Background Juvenile ossifying fibroma is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous tumor commonly involving the craniofacial skeleton of young patients with locally aggressive behavior and a high recurrence rate. Depending on the site of involvement it can present clinically as nasal obstruction, facial swelling, or proptosis. Case presentation Here we present a case of juvenile ossifying fibroma with an aneurysmal bone cyst component in the left nasal cavity in a 15-year-old boy who presented with gradually progressing left-sided nasal obstruction. Imaging findings were consistent with juvenile ossifying fibroma. Endoscopic resection of the tumor was done, and histopathological examination revealed it to be a psammomatoid variant of juvenile ossifying fibroma. Here we discuss its imaging findings, differential diagnosis, treatment options, and histopathological features. Conclusion Despite being a slow-growing benign tumor, early diagnosis and treatment are necessary due to its locally aggressive nature and invasion of adjacent structures. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment because of the high recurrence rate.

Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is histological variant of juvenile ossifying fibroma, a fibro-osseous tumor of craniofacial bones with benign but potentially aggressive nature. Complete excision of tumor is essential as it is associated with very high recurrence rate. We have reported here a case of juvenile ossifying fibroma- a psammomatoid variety present in right maxilla in a 13-year old male child. Complete excision of tumor was done through intra-oral approach with the 2.5 years of follow up shows no recurrence.Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is fibro-osseous tumor of craniofacial bones with benign but potentially aggressive nature. Complete excision of tumor is essential as it is associated with very high recurrence rate.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a locally aggressive, benign fibro-osseous tumor. It usually occurs in young children and arises in the maxillofacial region. It has a high recurrence rate. This pathology would be diagnosed and treated as early as possible because of its rapidly progressive and osteolytic nature which may complicate the surgical removal if left untreated over a long period. The present case is diagnosed as Juvenile ossifying fibroma involving the maxilla causing facial deformity, proptosis, and nasal obstruction in a 15-year-old female child.

Psammomatoid Juvenile ossifying fibroma (PsJOF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous lesion characterised to grow to unusually large size very rapidly. Its usual presentation is in younger age group mostly children and predominately involving the Sino-Naso-Orbital region. Its aggressive nature gimmicks a malignant lesion but it is rather a benign lesion with a higher recurrence rate than the conventional ossifying fibroma but lacking metastatic potential. The high recurrence rate makes it essential that the lesion is not reconstructed immediately and thorough monitoring in the follow-up period. Lesion of such clinical importance needs to be diagnosed preoperatively to provide a better and radical surgical treatment option, but the variability in its presentation as seen in this case makes it even harder to diagnose. We aim to draw attention to the rare phenomena that PsJOF presents to help readers broaden their purview in diagnosis and thereby manage them accordingly.

ABSTRACT Fibroosseous lesions of the jaws, including juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF), pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to their clinical, radiological, and histological variability. There are two histological varieties of it, one as psammomatoid type and second as trebacular type; here, we present a trebacular type, which is a rare variety. After the clinical examination, radiological and histological analysis, it was diagnosed as juvenile trebacular ossifying fibroma. Although JOF is an uncommon clinical entity, its aggressive local behavior and high recurrence rate means that it is important to make an early diagnosis, apply the appropriate treatment, and, especially, follow-up the patient over the long term.

ABSTRACT Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a highly aggressive uncommon fibro-osseous lesion occurring in the facial bones. Two histological variants of JOF, i.e. trabecular and psammomatoid have been reported. Here we present a case of a 20-year-old juvenile diabetic patient with massive growth on her left side of the jaw which was diagnosed as juvenile ossifying fibroma. This huge aggressive mass in the left side of the mandible had lead to complete lingual tilting of molars and premolars. After clinical and radiological examination, a biopsy led to the histopathological diagnosis of mixed variant of juvenile ossifying fibroma. The required surgical treatment (hemimandibulectomy) was undertaken under GA. The aggressive local behavior and high recurrence rate of JOF emphasizes the need for an early diagnosis, and appropriate radical treatment with long-term follow-up. One such case is reviewed and discussed in detail in the following article.

Trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare fibro-osseous lesion affecting the craniofacial skeleton occurring commonly in children and young adults. Tumor clinical behavior is highly aggressive with invasion of adjacent anatomic structures. Because of its high recurrence rate complete excision is necessary, but this one could be facial mutilating. This case report presents a 23-year-old female patient with a trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma of the right maxilla, expanding into the orbit and zygomatic bone. The report also shows the multidisciplinary surgical management of this lesion with successful preservation of optic nerve function and facial aesthetics.

Abstract Background The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the literature recurrence of peripheral giant cell granuloma and pyogenic granuloma associated with dental implants. It’s important to know the characteristics present in these lesions and possible effects on the prognosis of dental implants. Methods An electronic search without time restrictions was done in the databases: PubMed/Medline. With the keywords "Granuloma" OR "Granuloma, Giant Cell" OR "peripheral giant cell" OR "Granuloma, Pyogenic” AND "Dental implants" OR "Oral implants”. Results After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 20 articles were included, which reported 32 lesions (10 pyogenic granulomas, 21 peripheral giant cell granulomas and one peripheral giant cell granuloma combined with peripheral ossifying fibroma, all associated with implants). According to our review, these lesions are more frequent in males and in the posterior region of the mandible. Both excision and curettage of the lesion, compared to only excision, presented similar recurrences (40%). Explantation of the implant was performed in 41% of cases without additional recurrences. The results are not statistically significant when comparing one lesion to the other in terms of explantation (p = 0.97), recurrence (p = 0.57) or bone loss (p = 0.67). Conclusions The main therapeutic approach is tissue excision. The lesions show a high recurrence rate (34.4%), which often requires explantation of the associated implant. This recurrence rate is not affected by curettage after excision.

A 19-year-old man presented with a long-standing history of nasal obstruction, which gradually became worse over the past 2 years. Nasal endoscopy revealed a sizeable rounded mass covered by a normal-looking mucosa. Imaging studies showed a mass arising from the left middle turbinate that extended throughout the expanse of the anterior skull base. The tumour was resected via an endoscopic endonasal approach. Histopathological examination revealed a psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma. The patient remains free of recurrence after almost 3 years of follow-up. Only four cases of ossifying fibroma with middle turbinate localisation have been reported in the literature so far, with our case representing the fifth and most extensive case. Clinical, radiological and histological findings should all be considered for establishing the correct diagnosis. An endoscopic approach represents an excellent therapeutic option. Long-term clinical and radiological surveillance is required due to the risk of recurrence.

Biliary cystadenoma is a rare cystic tumor of the liver. It has a high recurrence rate and malignant transformation risk in middle-aged women. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult because of the lack of clinical, biological and radiological specificity. The confirmation of the diagnosis is made by the histopathological examination. Complete surgical resection is preferred because of the high risk of malignant transformation and recurrence.
