“…CT imaging plays a major role in detecting the extent of such lesions, their diagnosis and planning the management [12]. The CT of our patient reported expansile lytic lesion involving the left maxillary sinus, the floor of the orbit, the medial wall of the orbit causing pressure effect and proptosis of the left eyeball.…”

Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor of the gnathic and extragnathic craniofacial bones, particularly the periorbital, frontal and ethmoid bones. It is slowly progressive with aggressive local growth, invasion and destruction of the surrounding tissue, bone erosion and recurrence after surgical excision. It is distinguished from the other fibroosseous lesions by its age of onset, clinical presentation and aggressive behavior.

“…In 1927, it was coined as ossifying fibroma, and when this tumor occurs in children, it has been named juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma. [5] The PsJOF was first reported in 1938, and termed as osteoid fibroma with atypical ossification of the frontal sinus. Later, in 1949, two cases were reported and called as PsJOF.…”

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones in individuals under 15 years of age, and these lesions are usually benign and tend to grow slowly. The psammomatous type of juvenile ossifying fibroma (PsJOF) mainly involves the bones of the orbit and paranasal sinuses, whereas the trabecular type commonly involves the jaws. We are presenting a case of PsJOF of ramus of mandible in a 7-years-old boy, which is an uncommon condition, and histologically showed predominantly a cellular connective tissue stroma, composed of numerous spindle-shaped cells arranged in fascicular storiform pattern. In between these irregular strands of trabeculae with plump osteoblast, spheroidal ossicles with basophilic in center and eosinophilic in periphery resembling psammoma-like bodies are noticed.

“…This case is more prevalent in adult females than males with the anterior maxillary region being the most frequently affected. 9 In most cases, a radiograph confirms no involvement of bone. 3 However, in some cases, superficial bone erosion may occur.…”

Background: Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a rejuvenation of the reactive gingiva, usually occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva. The condition is often clinically ambiguous when diagnosed on the basis of gingival hyperplastic lesions such as focal fibrous hyperplasia, peripheral giant cell granuloma, peripheral fibroma and pyogenic granuloma because peripheral ossifying fibroma has a tendency to recur with a ratio of around 20%. The literature on the subject predominantly classifies peripheral osifying fibroma as an epulis type, but it has also been identified as a peripheral mesenchymal tumor presenting similar clinical symptoms to ossified fibrous epulis. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explain the rare case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the anterior maxillary gingiva which can be clinically misdiagnosed as reactive gingival hyperplastic lesions. Case: A case report of peripheral ossifying fibroma in the left lateral incisor and canine of the maxillary gingiva in a 26 year-old male. The patient chiefly complained of a painless, slow growing gingival enlargement on the upper left jaw during the previous five years. Clinical examination confirmed it to be a single, hard swelling in the 21-24 region, pale in color and with a rough surface. Case management: The procedure constituted a complete surgical excision of the lesion together with the underlying periosteum curettage intended to prevent recurrence. The histopathologic examination results indicated tissue with squamous epithelial lining, stroma consisting of fibroblasts, and immature trabecula with osteoblastic rimming between collagen tissue without signs of malignancy. Osteoblastic rimming has specific features in histopathologic examination of ossifying fibroma. Conclusion: Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a rare solitary enlargement in the oral cavity frequently misdiagnosed as ossified fibrous epulis. A definitive diagnosis is made by means of histopathologic examination. The condition has a low reccurance rate.
