Nonossifying fibromas are not uncommon, but those described in the rib are unique. We report the case of a 15-year-old patient with symptoms of chest wall pain for 5 days who underwent a video-assisted thoracoscopic rib resection for a 2.5-cm rib mass. Unexpectedly, pathological results revealed a nonossifying fibroma of the rib. The results showed excellent cosmesis and new bone formation because of the preservation of the overlying periosteum.

Primary tumors of trachea are rather uncommon, and few cases of direct surgical excision were reported in the literature. Recently we had the opportunity to see a patient with a benign obstructing tumor of the trachea which was confirmed as fibroma. The patient has complained of intermittent dyspnea, especially during inspiratory phase, dry cough and wheezing of a strident character for last 8 years. Bronchoscopy or bronchography were not attempted because of severe dyspnea. Trachea tomogram revealed oval mass at the terminal trachea. The right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed. Tumor, $2.5{\times}1.7cm$ in size, was located at terminal trachea and removed through right lateral tracheotomy without difficulty. Postoperatively all the symptoms and signs disappeared.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma(AFO) is a rare mixed odontogenic tumor. It is composed of connective tissue characteristic of an ameloblastic fibroma and calcified tissue as a complex or compound odontoma. AFO usually presents itself as an asymptomatic swelling of jaw or failure of tooth eruption. The lesion usually occurs in individual less than 30 years old. The differential diagnosis of this tumor includes odontoma, ameloblastoma, and ameloblastic fibroma. This report describes an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma occurring in maxilla of sixteen-year-old female. The lesion was treated by surgical enucleation and curettage without extraction of the involved canine(#23). This patient has shown no sign of recurrence during postoperative 34 months. So we report our case with review of literatures

Localized fibrous tumor of pleura is submesothelial origin and related terms with localized mesothelioma, giant sarcoma of visceral pleura, post-inflammatory tumor of the pleura, pleural fibroma, submesothelial fibroma. This tumor is rare. We experienced a case of localized fibrous tumor.This 66 years old female was admitted with 2 years left persistant flank pain and mild dyspnea. Chest X-ray and CT scan showed a 12x10cm well-defined huge mass in the left subpulmonic area, and not metastatic lesion of any organs.Exploratory thoracotomy was done and a 14x10x8cm [650gm weight] sized mass was excised.The patient was discharged without any complications postoperatively.

Ossifying fibromas are benign fibro-osseous tumors of mesenchymal origin. Although ossifying fibromas have principally been found in the jaw, they have also been reported in the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and temporal bones, as well as the orbit and anterior cranial fossa. Ossifying fibromas affecting the jaw exhibit variable behaviors ranging from slow growth to occasionally aggressive local destruction. In the present article, we discuss a differential diagnosis considered for maxillary swellings and report a rare case of ossifying fibroma occurring in the maxilla.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous tumor with fibrous tissue, abnormal cement and bone, or a combination of such elements. These are slow-growing lesions and are more frequent in women. Here, we report the case of a 28-year-old Korean woman. The patient having no underlying disease complained about facial swelling and asymmetry. A firm mass with impacted molars and teeth deviation on the right maxilla was observed. A computed tomography scan was taken and an incisional biopsy was performed. Following this, COF was diagnosed. Complete surgical removal of the lesion was carried out. A post-operative follow-up was conducted and 3 months later the patient reported no discomfort or any sign of recurrence in regards to the lesion. Differential diagnosis with fibrous dysplasia and the COF is important because of the treatment choice. We report a case of COF and offer a review of the literature on this article.

비골화성 섬유종에서 피질골 관(cortical tract)과 개구관(opening tract), 섬유성 피질골 결손에서 피질골내 병소의 존재는 두 병소의 형태학적인 중요한 특징이며, 이 질환을 진단하는데 중요한 단서로 활용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Purpose: Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant multisystemic neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the development of multiple hamartoma distributed through the body, skin, brain, heart, kidney, and lung. The classic triad is seizure, mental retardation, and facial angiofibroma. We experienced a case of a tuberous sclerosis associated with the facial lesion and multiple masses on scalp, forehead, and right lower extremity. Methods: This a 34-year-old male patient had subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in brain and multiple angiomyolipoma in both kidneys. Tangential excision with razor blade and dermabrasion were done on the centrofacial area. We excised other lesions and the mass on scalp was excised and covered with split thickness skin graft. Results: The histopathological finding revealed that the facial lesion was angiofibroma and the others were multiple fibroma. Conclusion: In our case of tuberous sclerosis, we chose the tangential excision to remove the large nodules of angiofibroma, and then dermabrasion was used to smooth the final contour. The patient appeared to have a good results from this treatment modality. But, tuberous sclerosis is an disease that needs long term follow-up to check up the recurrence of skin problem.
