The purpose of this study was to know the proper diagnosis and to establish the treatment plan of cementifying and ossifying fibroma in the jaws through the clinical, raiological, and histopathologic considerations. The authors compared and analyzed the c1inicoradiologic features of the thirteen cases of cementifying and ossifying fibroma, diagnosed at the Dental college hospital in Yonsei university, Seoul, Korea, during the period from 1980 to 1995. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Cementifying and ossifying fibroma occured in the mean age, 44 years, ranged from 29 to 65 years and the male to female ratio was approximately 1:5. 2. Swelling was the most common frequent presenting complaints. Other reported symptoms included pain, tooth mobility and asymptom. 3. The frequency of the lesions was twelve cases in the mandible and one case in the maxilla. And eleven of thirteen cases were distributed on the premolar and molar region. 4. Radiologically, eight of thirteen cases were well defined lesions, five cases were relatively well defined lesions. And nine of thirteen cases were mixed lesions, three cases were radiopaque lesions, and only one case was purely radiolucenct lesion. 5. Histologically, seven of thirteen cases were classified ossifying fibroma, four cases were cemento-ossifying fibroma, and two cases were cementifying fibroma.

Irritation fibroma is a reactive hyperplastic lesion caused by chronic stimuli with low intensity in the oral cavity. Irritation fibroma is common in middle-aged females but it may also occur at any age and sex. Clinical characteristics of irritation fibroma are similar to other reactive lesions or benign tumors, therefore, histological examination is essential to make an accurate diagnosis. This case report presents two cases of irritation fibroma occurred on the gingiva in young males. Two male patients in their 20s and 30s of age visited the clinic for the evaluation and treatment of painless gingival overgrowth in the anterior region. Clinically, the lesions were well-defined and firm, with similar color and texture to the adjacent normal gingiva. Excisional biopsy under local anesthesia was conducted with a scalpel, and the lesions were completely removed. Histopathologically, connective tissue consisting of dense collagen bundles, proliferation of fibroblasts and minor infiltrated inflammatory cells were observed. Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, the diagnosis of irritation fibroma was confirmed in both cases.

The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the clinical and radiographic features of the fibro-osseous lesions in the jaws. For this study, the author examined and analysed the clinical records and radiographs of 71 cases of 68 patients in fibrous dysplasia, 35 cases of ossifying fibroma and 30 cases of 16 patients of periapical cemental dysplasia diagnosed by clinical and radiographic or histopathological examinations. The obtained results were as followings: L Fibrous dysplasia occurred most frequently in the 2nd decade (30.0％), ossifying fibroma in the 3rd-4th decades, periapical cemental dysplasia in the 4th decade, and all of three lesions showed slight predilection in females. In most cases, chief complaints were painless facial swelling in fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma, and periapical cemental dysplasia was found accidentally in radiographs. 2. Fibrous dysplasia was occurred more frequently in maxilla, ossifying fibroma in mandible and both lesions in premolar-molar area. Periapical cemental dysplasia was occurred most frequently in the mandibular anterior area. The size of fibrous dysplasia was larger than that of ossifying fibroma, and the shape of ossifying fibroma was more round and elliptical than fibrous dysplasia whose was fusiform. 3. Fibrous dysplasia was shown homogeneous radiopaque shadow of 57.6％ and ossifying fibroma & periapical cemental dysplasia were shown mixed appearance of radiolucency and radiopacity shadows at 74.2％, 60.0％, respectively. 4. Fibrous dysplasia was entirely shown poorly defined at 87.7％, but ossifying fibroma & periapical cemental dysplasia were shown well outlined at 60.0％, 70.0％, respectively. 5. Cortical thinning and expansion were observed in fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma, and severe in ossifying fibroma than fibrous dysplasia, and those signs were not seen in periapical cemental dysplasia. Loss of lamina dura was dominant in fibrous dysplasia and root resorption was dominant in ossifying fibroma. Displacement of mandibular canal and the degree of the increase of vertical dimension were alike in both lesions. Displacement of maxillary sinus or nasal cavity, thinning & expansion of the maxillary sinus were dominant in fibrous dysplasia. 6. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia was occurred at 5.9％, Multiple periapical cemental dysplasia at 43.7％. Occurrence rate in the edentulous area of fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma were 7.0％, 8.6％, respectively.

We report a case of primary cardiac fibroma which is a rare cardiac neoplasm and arising most frequently from right ventricular free wall and interventricular septum. A 2-month-old male infant with cyanosis was admitted for evaluation and treatment. Echocar-diographic lEnding was a cardiac mass. Successful nearly total removal of the tumor was performed. The pathologic result was compatible with fibroma. The postoperative course was not eventful, and have been in good condition upto now.

Primary cardiac fibroma of the left ventricular myocardium is a rare tumor of the heart which is usually located within the anterior wall and /or septum of the left ventricle and is the second most common cardiac tumor in infant and children. Although the tumor is benign histologically, it may cause severe cardiac dysfunction and sudden death. A 30-day-old neonate with a huge intramural fibroma involving the posterolateral wall of the left ventricle underwent it`s partial resection under extracorporeal circulation on April 1992.

Primary intrathoracic neoplasms occur frequently, and the most frequent intrathoracic tumors are of pulmonary or bronchogenic origin. Second in frequency are mediastinal tumors, and least frequency or comparatively rare are the neoplasms arising from the wall of the thorax and extending into the thoracic cavity. Of all intrathoracic tumors, fibroma is extremely rare. Recently, we have experienced a huge rapid growing intrathoracic fibroma originating from thoracic wall, which is removed successfully and confirmed histopathologically. Authors present one case of fibroma and discussion with a brief review of the relevant literatures.

The central odontogenic fibroma is a rare benign neoplasm, and considered to be derived from the mesenchymal tissue of dental origin. It is a poorly defined tumor of the jawbones which has only been infrequently reported in the literature. We report a histologically proven case of simple-type central odontogenic fibroma, which affected the left canine-premolar region of the maxilla in a 52-year-old woman.

Desmoplastic fibroma is one of the uncommon osseous tumors that present in the skull. Although classified as benign tumor, desmoplastic fibroma exhibits local aggressiveness and has a high potential for recurrence. The most common sites include metaphysis of long bones and mandible. Only 15cases have been described in the skull. We report the 16th case of desmoplastic fibroma of the skull.

Desmoplastic fibroma, which develops predominantly in long bones and the mandible, is a rare and benign but locally aggressive tumor. Desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium is extremely rare. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroma of the frontal bone in a young man. Because of its locally aggressive behavior, complete surgical excision with a safety margin is essential.
