“…The ossifying fibroma (OF), previously called cementifing fibroma and cementoossifying fibroma, is probably the most frequent fibro-osseous lesion seen by oral pathologists (Zupi et al, 2000). It is a benign neoplasm of the bone-forming tissues (Speight and Carlos, 2006;Regezi et al, 2000), which is described as a welldemarcated lesion, occasionally encapsulated, composed of fibrous tissue containing varying amounts of bony trabeculae and rounded calcified bodies (Soames and 7 Southam, 2005;Whaites, 2007).…”

“…The lesion can remain inactive for long periods of time or evolve in spurts (Colard et al, 2008). Occasionally it may produce large (up to 5 cm) masses of osteolytic bone, that expand and thin the cortex (Aufderheide and Rodríguez-Martín, 1998), causing serious cosmetic and functional problems (Zupi et al, 2000;Barberi et al, 2003;Su et al, 1997a). Since this tumour is generally asymptomatic, it may be present for some years before discovery; swelling of the face and displacement of teeth are early clinical features (Shafer et al, 1983;Barberi et al, 2003).…”

This paper discusses the differential diagnosis of an unusual bone tumour observed in the right maxilla of one adult calvarium, from the Late Neolithic collective burial of Lapa do Bugio (Sesimbra, Portugal). The differential diagnosis of the lesion gave rise to several possible pathological conditions, namely, ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, and focal cemento‐osseous dysplasia. Despite the impossibility of performing histological analysis, various macroscopic and radiological aspects lead us to consider ossifying fibroma as the most probable diagnose. This appears to be the earliest reported case of this condition in the osteoarchaeological literature, and adds to the very few palaeopathological case descriptions available for ossifying fibroma.

“…However, among fibro-ossifying lesions, the COF is probably the form most seen by pathologists (Eversole et al, 1985;Eversole, 1997;Zupi et al, 2000). Its development is slow and progressive, growing centrifugally, affecting both the maxilla and the mandible.…”

Cemento-ossifying fibromas (COFs) are rare benign tumours affecting the maxilla and the mandible. The COF, of nonodontogenic origin, consists of a heterogeneous mixture of bone tissues and cementum. The skeleton of burial 154 excavated from the site of Magnicourten-Comté (Pas-de-Calais) has been studied palaeopathologically. The cemetery is dated from the Merovingian period (6 th -7th century AD) and included 262 burials. In this study, we focus on the differential diagnosis of cemento-ossifying fibroma and other dyplastic and cystic lesions. Various macroscopic, radiological and histological aspects enable us to make a positive diagnosis of COF.

“…JAOFs are classified under fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs), a group of disease entities that may pose diagnostic difficulties as they share common radiological and histopathological feature (6). However, correct identification of these distinct entities classified under FOLs is important for therapeutic management.…”

SummaryJuvenile Aggressive Ossifying Fibroma (JAOF) is divided into two entities namely Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) and Juvenile Trabecular Ossifying Fibroma (JTOF). JAOFs are aggressive but benign tumours that require clinico-pathological correlation to arrive at the definitive diagnosis. We report nine new cases of JPOF and 6 cases of JTOF with a brief review of the literature to aid correct diagnosis of these two different entities. According to the clinico-pathological analysis both JPOF and JTOF had occurred in children and adults, with a mean age of 28.6 years and 21 years at presentation respectively. JPOF showed a male predilection while equal gender distribution was observed in JTOF. Both tumours occurred most often in the mandible. Regarding the histopathological features all tumours were unencapsulated. All cases of JPOF showed presence of psammoma bodies which can be considered as a main diagnostic feature. JTOF showed osteoid and immature woven bone trabeculae. Osteoblastic rimming was commonly observed among JTOF but absent in JPOF. Other histopathological features did not show any striking difference between the two lesions. In conclusion, the term "Juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma" is a misnomer as it can occur in adults as well. Therefore, the word "Juvenile" should be excluded when renaming the tumour which is a "need of the hour". Further, the study demonstrates the use of demographic, radiological and histopathological features with clinico-pathological correlation to diagnose and exclude mimics of JPOF and JTOF.
