Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor of the maxilla and the mandible. And its nosology and diagnosis have had many problems. It occurs more common in young adult, especially in female, and there is a predilection for the mandible. The lesion is generally asymptomatic and recurrence is rare after conservative excision. Among ossifying fibroma, juvenile active ossifying fibroma grows rapidly, produces many symptoms, and frequently recurs after conservative excision. Authers experienced a case of juvenile active ossifying fibroma which recurred after two times of conservative surgery, and report is with review of the literatures.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is an expansive intraosseous lesion of the bones. In most patients, the tumors are located in the facial bones. The main characteristics of juvenile ossifying fibroma are the early age of onset, localization of the tumor, radiological pattern and a tendency for recurrence. This article describes a case of expanded juvenile ossifying fibroma in the right maxilla in a 12-year old boy. The lesion was removed totally by surgery under general anesthesia. The patient showed no radiological signals of recurrence approximately two years after surgery.

Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous variant of ossifying fibroma. It exhibits short-term rapid growth and has a high recurrence rate. Herein we describe a case of JPOF of the maxilla that was treated via complete excision utilizing an intraoral approach with immediate reconstruction using an iliac bone graft, in conjunction with a comprehensive review of the literature. A 20-year-old man presented with a mass on his right cheek that he reported had been growing over the last 10 months. In that cheek he had noticed fullness and experienced pressure, tenderness, and fluffiness, with no other ophthalmic or dental symptoms. After clinical, radiological, and histological examinations, the diagnosis was confirmed as JPOF. Surgical excision was performed, followed by immediate reconstruction with an autologous iliac cortical and cancellous bone graft harvested from the right iliac crest under general anesthesia. Good cicatrization of the intraoral surgical wounds and right iliac crest were evident. He was monitored for 6 months after the surgery and exhibited appropriate midfacial contour. There were no signs of recurrence or complications.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a variant of the ossifying fibroma and includes two histopathological subtypes: trabecular and psammomatoid. Psammomatoid JOF (PJOF) in craniofacial structures should be distinguished from other fibro-osseous lesions, such as fibrous dysplasia (FD), considering the difference in the treatment protocols. Here, we present a rare case of PJOF that was initially misdiagnosed as a case of FD and emphasize the importance of considering JOF in the differential diagnosis of patients with craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions. A 4-year-old boy demonstrated progressive enlargement of the zygomaticomaxillary area on his left side for the last 6 months. The patient was diagnosed as a case of FD based on the clinical features and radiographic findings, and was operated considering the rapid progression. To achieve facial symmetry, contouring of the zygomatic bone and arch was performed. However, the patient demonstrated rapid enlargement at the 3-month postoperative follow-up. The decision was made to surgically remove the tumor due to visual field impairment. Intraoperatively, a rubbery mass, which was separated from the surrounding cortical bone, was identified and excised. The lesion was confirmed as PJOF by histopathological examination. The possibility of PJOF should not be ruled out in the differential diagnosis of patients with fibrous-osseous lesions. In the event of suspected PJOF, accurate diagnosis should be made through definitive biopsy.

백악질 골화성 섬유종은 가장 흔히 발생하는 섬유 골성 병소(fibro-osseous lesion)로서, 경계가 분명하고, 느리게 성장하는 팽창성의 양성종양이다. 임상적으로 하악골의 소구치와 대구치 부위에서 발생하고, 여성에게서 2배 정도 호발하며, 주로 20대에서 30대 사이에서 발견된다. 백악질 골화성 섬유종은 섬유성 이형성증을 포함한 다른 섬유 골성 병소와 감별되어야 한다. 백악질 골화성 섬유종의 또 다른 형태인 유년형 골화성 섬유종은 15세 이하에서 발생하며, 빠르게 성장하고, 좀 더 골파괴적인 양상을 보인다. 치료는 병소의 크기 에 따른 절제술이고, 재발은 드물다고 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 우측 하악 견치의 미맹출을 주소로 내원한 12세 남자 어린이로, 백악질 골화성 섬유종으로 진단 후, 외과적 적출술을 시행하여 양호한 치유과정을 보이기에 보고하는 바이다.

화골섬유종은 비교적 천천히 증식하는 종양으로 발견전 몇년간은 나타나지 않는다. 악골에서 화골섬유종의 잘 경계되어진 성질은 완전한 제거가 용이하여 이로인한 치료결과도 양호하다. 그러나 때때로 유년기 하악에서 이 종양의 골격적 양상을 볼 수 있다. 그러한 경우 종양의 침윤적인 성장 때문에 건강한 조직을 포함한 절제가 적용된다. 본 증례의 환자는 34세의 여성으로 약 두달전 우측 안모의 점진적인 팽윤을 인지하였으며 상악우측 구치부의 간헐적인 동통을 호소하였고 종물은 상악결절부위 및 우측 상악동의 전측방벽까지 팽윤되어 있었다. 방사선적 조사에서 우측 상악동의 후측방벽과 전방벽 그리고 우측 치조돌기와 경구개 까지의 파괴와 함께 다수의 치밀한 구형의 석회화물질을 함유한 종물이 관찰되었다. 종물은 최근의 빠른 침윤성 성장을 고려하여 부분적 상악골 절제술로 제거되었으며 6개월간 술후검사에서 환자는 특이한 술후 이상을 보이지 않았다.
