Abstract
ABSTRACT
Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, non-odontogenic tumor of the jaw which
comes under the group of fibro-osseous lesions. Ossifying fibromas of the mandible
are more common than in the maxillary region. Juvenile ossifying fibroma has been
distinguished from conventional ossifying fibroma on the basis of patient’s age,
site predilection, and clinical behavior. The lesion should be differentiated from
other fibro-osseous lesions as its management varies from surgical enucleation to
complete resection. Present report describes the case of juvenile ossifying fibroma
of anterior maxillary region in a 7 year old male patient, with a detailed description
of clinical, radiographic, histopathologic features, and its surgical management.
