Abstract:
Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a slow-growing benign fibro-osseous neoplasm. It is mostly odontogenic in origin, and it arises in the jaws, particularly the mandible. OF is characterized by the production of bone and cementum-like calcifications in a fibrous stroma. OF reports of the bone of the maxilla are uncommon. Diagnosing OF can be challenging due to the considerable overlap of clinico-pathological characteristics with those of other neoplasms. Herein, the authors describe a case report OF in a 26-year-old male who presented with a huge fibro-osseous tumor of the maxilla. Histopathology established the diagnosis of maxillary OF. The tumor was surgically removed via a Weber-erguson approach with satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. No recurrence has been found after one year of follow-up. Clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics, as well as surgical treatment approaches, are further discussed. This is one of a few documented cases of maxillary OF in our setting.
摘要:
骨化性纤维瘤(OF)是一种生长缓慢的良性纤维骨性肿瘤。它主要是牙源性的,它出现在下巴里,尤其是下颌骨。OF的特征在于在纤维基质中产生骨和牙骨质样钙化。上颌骨的报道很少见。由于临床病理特征与其他肿瘤的病理特征相当重叠,因此诊断OF可能具有挑战性。在这里,作者描述了一例26岁男性上颌骨巨大纤维骨性肿瘤的病例报告。组织病理学确立了上颌OF的诊断。通过Weber-erguson方法手术切除肿瘤,具有令人满意的功能和美容效果。随访1年无复发。临床,放射学,和病理特征,以及手术治疗方法,进一步讨论。在我们的设置中,这是少数记录的上颌OF病例之一。
