Giant Cemento-ossifying Fibroma of the Maxilla

Abstract: Giant COF occurs rarely in the jaws and given that this lesion has similar imaging and clinical features to several other tumors, the diagnosis is always a challenge for clinicians, radiologists and pathologists.

“…OF cases studies with unusual huge sizes are relatively uncommon. A number of them have been reported in the English literature 1–11 . Predominantly, OF affects facial bones, most commonly in the mandible, where it arises from apical to premolars and molars, and superior to the mandibular canal 4 .…”

“…Likewise, to reduce the possibility of recurrence for such large lesion, an en bloc resection of the jaw was ideal to our case with the delay reconstruction of the defect. Management of massive lesions tend to be difficult due to its aggressive nature, as well as the high recurrence rates 8,9 . However, radical surgery treatment results in major hard and soft tissue defects that affect not only esthetics and function, but also craniofacial development as well.…”

“…Depending on the size and volume of bone destruction, monobloc resection are carried out alongside with bone reconstruction using iliac crest non-vascularized bone graft or free fibula flap. 8,26 Meanwhile, in cemento ossfying fibroma recurrent cases where the lesion growth interferes with significant anatomical structures, more aggressive surgical procedures are indicated. In this study, complete enucleation or extensive resection was carried out considering the tumor progression and possibility of further recurrences alongside with maxillary resection and reconstruction with a free fibular flap conducted by plastic surgeon.…”
