ABSTRACT

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare fibro-osseous neoplasm that arises within the craniofacial bones. Two distinct histopathological variants have been described; trabecular JOF and psammomatoid JOF (PsJOF). The later occurs predominantly in craniofacial skeleton and rarely in jaws and more so in mandible (50% of the times than that in maxilla). Here we report a rare case of PsJOF in mandible body ramus region with its unique radiographic characteristics to help the diagnostician approach the diagnosis very closely for this rare entity. The tumor has been present since 1 year with unilocular radiographic appearance; having homogeneous ground-glass appearance with higher imaging, without any focal radio-opacity and inferior alveolar canal was displaced but still intact. Thus these lesions can expand to large sizes even without maturing to its radiopaque stages and without destruction of adjacent vital structures although displacing them.
