A CASE REPORT OF THE HUGE CEMENTO-OSSIFYING FIBROMA OF THE MANDIBLE

하악골에 발생한 거대한 cemento-ossifying fibroma의 치험례

The cemento-ossifying fibroma is a well-demarcated and occasionally encapsulated neoplasm composed of fibrous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcified tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. The greatest number of cases are encountered during the third and fourth decades of life and there is a definite female predilection, with female-to-male ratios as high as 5 : 1 being reported. The mandible is involved far more than the maxilla, and 90 percent of all cases are located in the mandible. The mandibular premolar-molar area is the most common site. Radiographically, the lesion is most often well defined and unilocular. Depending on the amount of calcified produced in the tumor, it may appear as completely radiolucent ; more often it shows varying degrees of radiopacity. Some lesions may be largely radiopaque with a radiolucent halo. On microscopic study, the tumor is composed of fibrous tissue of varying degrees of cellularity containing calcified material. This may be in the form of trabeculae of osteoid and bone or basophilic ovoid calcifications that resemble cementum-like material. Admixture of the two types of calcifications are commonly seen. On this case, large cemento-ossifying fibroma has grown in the mandible and this lesion was treated by complete surgical excision and posterior iliac bone graft. A review of literature and a report of a case of cemento-ossifying fibroma are presented.

본과에서는 하악에서 발생한 거대한 백악질-골성 섬유종에서 원발병소부위에 대한 광범위한 외과적 적출술 및 후방 장골이식을 통해 환자의 심미적, 기능적 안정성을 이루었으며 이환치아의 발거와 함께 술후 악간고정을 통하여 얇아진 하악하연부의 병적골절을 방지하였다. 현재까지 병소의 재발은 없고 양호한 결과를 보이고 있으며 향후 보철수복과 함께 지속적인 평가를 요할 것으로 사료된다.
