Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma of Maxilla: Report of a case

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare type of fibro osseous lesion affecting the jaws of children under 15 years of age. We report a case of an 8–year–old boy diagnosed with trabecular form of JOF affecting the left maxilla with brief description about its histopathological differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Ossifying fibroma is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion composed of lamellar bone and fibrous tissue. It occurs as an osseous lesion in the craniofacial skeleton. Clinically, lesions are usually asymptomatic, slow-growing and well-circumscribed. However, in very few cases, particularly in younger patients these tumors have demonstrated an aggressive course of development. Surgical management via a wide local excision is a necessity since it is notorious for recurrence, especially paranasal sinuses lesions. Here, we describe a case of a 9-year- old male child who had left forehead swelling with painless, progressive proptosis and downward lateral displacement of the globe for approximately 8 months. Computed tomography showed a massive expansile lesion involving the left frontal bone. The mass was excised surgically via a Lynch Howarth approach and proved histopathologically to be a juvenile ossifying fibroma. The radiological interpretation will be discussed which is helpful for diagnosis and selecting appropriate surgical approach in growing child.

Review Management

Introduction: Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare neoplasm characterized by the replacement of the normal bone matrix with osteo-fibrous tissue. It has the tendency to be locally aggressive despite its benign character and to have a strong tendency for recurrence. Observation: In this case report, the patient is a young man, aged 16, with rapidly advancing maxillary swelling. We describe the diagnostic procedure, the surgical procedure and the differential diagnosis to be eliminated. Discussion: The clinical presentation of JOF, and its rapid growth, can cause fear of other pathologies such as osteosarcoma. The radiological characteristics should reassure the practitioner and a histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion: JOF is a benign tumor. It should be operated on at an early stage because of its rapid growth. In its clinical and histological presentation, its trabecular form may mimic an osteosarcoma.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.
