Cranial juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma: case report

Abstract

<jats:p>Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) is a fibroosseous tumor that arises in the craniofacial bones in young people. This lesion usually originates in the jaw, orbit, and ethmoid complex but can also be associated with the skull base and calvaria. Diagnosis must be made based on observing typical radiological and histopathological features. Although JPOF is a rare pathological entity, neurosurgeons must consider this odontogenic lesion in the differential diagnosis of skull masses given the lesion’s aggressive behavior and locally invasive growth. Treatment must be gross-total resection. In the following article, the authors present a case of cranial JPOF and discuss various aspects of this entity.</jats:p>

Orbit ossifying fibroma – Case report and literature review

“…[8] e surgical resection is the main treatment and recurrences are rare. [1] JTOF is also rare with no gender predomination and occurs mainly in children between 8 and 12 years. Affects predominantly the maxilla and mandible.…”

“…Being well-demarcated distinguishes it from other fibroosseous lesions such as FD. [1,9] Both JTOF and JPOF are benign and the treatment should be the complete resection. However, recurrence is higher than in COF and malignant transformation has not been reported.…”

Adjuvant radiotherapy for JPOF is usually regarded contraindicated by most authorities because of its radioresistance and the potential risk of malignant transformation [12,14,16].…”
