Juvenile ossifying fibroma in adult patient: a rare case report

Juvenile ossifying fibroma of the jaws is an aggressive variant of ossifying fibroma that tends to affect children and adolescents. Early detection and immediate treatment are essential for this condition due to its different clinical behavior, highly aggressive nature, and high tendency for recurrence. Our report describes a case of juvenile ossifying fibroma in a 27-year-old woman who presented with swelling on the left side of the face, with typical clinical, radiological, and histological features. The patient underwent surgery to remove the lesion, and after resection of the involved area, no further symptoms were reported in the follow-up sessions. CBCT scans and panoramic imaging of the patient 6 months after surgery revealed no radiographic sign of recurrence. Autologous iliac crest grafting was performed for reconstruction of the resected area.

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma: A Rare Case Report

Journal of Evolution of medical and Dental Sciences, 2014

Fibro-osseous lesions (JOF) are benign mesenchymal skeletal tumors in which mineralized tissue, blood vessels and giant cells, in varying proportions, replace normal bone. It is an unusual fibro-osseous pathology that develops inside the craniofacial bones, predominantly in the paranasal sinuses. It is common in patients under 14-15 years of age. It's locally aggressive but histopathologicaly benign lesion. Though it mimics active ossifying fibroma, but aggressive in nature. Histological characteristics do not indicate the rate of growth or prognosis, treatment depends on the clinical and biologic behavior of the tumor. We report a case of juvenile ossifying fibroma, in a 13- year-old boy. The treatment was radical en-bloc excision and 7years follow-up without recurrence.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) – A rare case report

GSC Advanced Research and Reviews, 2021

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare, benign, bone forming lesion of children and adolescents. When sited in the jaws, it is considered as an aggressive form of ossifying fibroma presenting with a wide range of clinical symptoms and a high incidence of recurrence. Although early detection and management is thought to eradicate it completely. The present case report focuses on the surgical yet conservative management of JOF in a 5 years old boy who reported with a year-long, progressive swelling on the left side of his face. The tumour was excised with minimal surgical intervention into a clearly defined and lobulated single mass using maxillary vestibular incision under general anaesthesia. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no signs of recurrence were found in the next 6 months follow-up period.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma of the maxilla

2007

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 a preoperative work-up comprising head and neck CT and MRI. Discussion: A review of the literature reveals that treatment of this aggressive tumour must comprise complete surgical resection via an incision determined by local tumour extension. Conclusion: Patients with juvenile ossifying fibroma tumour require long-term follow-up due to the high recurrence rate.

Rapidly maturing juvenile ossifying fibroma: a case report

Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2011

This report describes an unusual case of juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) in a 16-year-old female patient with a clinical presentation of a single large, well-circumscribed swelling on left side of the palate. Ossifying fibromas are normally slow growing benign lesions. Radiographically they can present as radiolucent, mixed or radiopaque lesions depending on the degree of maturity. A period of at least 6 years is required for the lesion to pass from the radiolucent to radiopaque stage. All previously reported cases of JOF have been either radiolucent or mixed density lesions, but our case is unusual because the lesion had shown apparently rapid transformation into an almost complete radiopaque stage at a very early age.

Juvenile Trabecular Ossifying Fibroma of the Maxilla: a Case Report

Medical Archives, 2016

Introduction: Juvenile ossifying fibromas are uncommon benign tumors. Their aggressiveness added to their high tendency to recur, provoke real diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the dental practitioner and make a postoperative follow-up over the years indispensable. Case report: In this report, we present a case of a seven-year-old girl presented with a swelling in the face at the upper right maxillary region. After clinical, radiological, and histopathological examinations the diagnosis of trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma was made. The lesion was surgically excised and followed up for two years with no evidence of recurrence.

Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma of the maxilla: Case report of a diagnostic dilemma

PubMed, 2021

Ossifying fibromas (OFs) are benign, well-demarcated lesions in the craniofacial region, particularly in the jaws, with clinical, radiographic, and histopathological similarities to other lesions, which make their diagnosis challenging. Herein, we report a case of a fibro-osseous lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 13-year-old boy, consisting of an intraosseous and an extra-osseous part, which created a diagnostic dilemma.

Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma of the mandible

Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2010

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (JOF) is a rare fibro-osseus neoplasm in young children. This lesion is locally aggressive and spreads quickly. It is usually asymptomatic, achieving a large size. Owing to its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate, early detection and complete surgical excision are essential. This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a 3-year-old girl presenting with a mandibular swelling that was subsequently determined to be juvenile ossifying fibroma.

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma Of A 15-year-old Girl: A Case Report

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a locally aggressive, benign fibro-osseous tumor. It usually occurs in young children and arises in maxillofacial region. It has 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 yearold female child.

Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma involving mandibular angle and ramus region

International Journal of Medical and Dental Case Reports

Juvenile ossifying fibromas (JOFs) are the fibro-osseous lesions known to occur in children. Although benign, they are locally aggressive and are known to reoccur. They have two microscopic patterns; trabecular and psammomatoid. Here, we report a case of JOF in a 4-year old male patient who reported to our department with a chief complaint of swelling over the right side of the lower third of his face.
