Lesión Fibro-ósea de Mandíbula: Un Hallazgo Radiográfico / Fibro-osseous Lesion of the Mandible: A Radiographic Finding

Las lesiones fibro-óseas son consideradas benignas y componen un grupo de patologías de desórdenes que se caracterizan por el reemplazo de un hueso normal por un tejido compuesto de fibras colágenas, fibroblastos y tejido mineralizado. Presentamos un hallazgo radiográfico obtenido de un paciente de sexo masculino de 41 años de edad que asiste a un centro de radiología para realizarse una radiografía panorámica, el examen revela un interesante hallazgo radiográfico en la hemi mandíbula izquierda, donde se observa una lesión fibro-ósea con expansión ósea a nivel de reborde marginal y cortical basal mandibular, desplazamiento de canal mandibular, desplazamiento dentario, compromiso de cortical alveolar y rizálisis en diferentes niveles en los dientes adyacentes a la lesión. De acuerdo a los antecedentes anteriores se establece una hipótesis diagnóstica de Fibroma Osificante de larga data debido a su radiopacidad. La Organización Mundial de la Salud lo clasifica como una neoplasia ósea benigna con afección al esqueleto craneofacial, de mayor incidencia en mandíbula, se presenta generalmente entre la 3º y 4º década de vida. Concluimos que las lesiones fibro-óseas pueden ser detectadas como un hallazgo radiográfico, esto es relevante para un tratamiento precoz, sin embargo, el diagnóstico debe realizarse complementando los antecedentes clínicos e histopatológicos de la lesión, poniendo especial atención en el diagnóstico diferencial.

Fibro-osseous lesions are considered benign and make up a group of disorder pathologies that are characterized by the replacement of normal bone by tissue composed of collagen fibers, fibroblasts, and mineralized tissue. We present a radiographic finding obtained from a 41-year-old male patient who attended a radiology center for a panoramic radiograph. The examination revealed an interesting radiographic finding in the left hemi-mandible, where a fibro-osseous lesion was observed. with bone expansion at the level of the marginal ridge and basal mandibular cortex, displacement of the mandibular canal, dental displacement, compromise of the alveolar cortex and rizalysis at different levels in the teeth adjacent to the lesion. According to the previous antecedents, a long-standing diagnostic hypothesis of Ossifying Fibroma is established due to its radiopacity. The World Health Organization classifies it as a benign bone neoplasm affecting the craniofacial skeleton, with the highest incidence in the jaw, generally presenting between the 3rd and 4th decade of life. We conclude that fibro-osseous lesions can be detected as a radiographic finding, this is relevant for early treatment, however the diagnosis must be made by complementing the clinical and histopathological history of the lesion, paying special attention to the differential diagnosis.

Fibroma osificante periférico / Peripheral ossifying fibroma

RESUMEN Con relativa frecuencia, en la mucosa bucal se observan agrandamientos gingivales como el fibroma osificante periférico, que es una lesión reactiva inflamatoria del tejido blando. Clínicamente se trata de una tumefacción deformante, de crecimiento lento, sin una causa clara, aunque su formación está asociada a traumatismos o irritaciones crónicas a nivel gingival. Usualmente su aparición es a nivel de la papila interdental en la zona anterior del maxilar, aunque se puede observar en otras regiones de la cavidad bucal. El tratamiento es quirúrgico y consiste en la enucleación total de la lesión, retirando además los factores irritativos. En las radiografías, la imagen frecuentemente observada, aparece como un área radiolúcida, unilocular, bien definida y delimitada por un halo radiopaco (esclerótico); ocasionalmente puede presentarse como una imagen radiopaca.

ABSTRACT In the buccal mucosa are observed, with relative frequency, gingival enlargements such as the peripheral ossifying fibroma, which is considered a reactive inflammatory soft tissue lesion. It is clinically characterized by a slow-growing, disfiguring swelling with no clear cause, although its formation is associated with trauma or chronic irritation at the gingival level. Its appearance is usually at the level of the interdental papilla in the anterior region of the maxilla, although it can be seen in other regions of the oral cavity. The treatment is surgical consisting of the total enucleation of the lesion and removing the irritating factors. On radiographs, the frequently observed image appears as a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucent area delimited by a radiopaque halo (sclerotic); it can be occasionally presented as a radiopaque image.

Psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma of frontal sinus - surgical and reconstructive approach

ABSTRACT Psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that mainly affects the paranasal sinuses and periorbital bones. It may cause significant esthetic and functional impairment. Herein, we describe the diagnosis and surgical approach of an extensive PJOF arising in the frontal sinus of a young male. After complete lesion removal and histopathological confirmation, the bone defect was repaired with a customized polymethylmethacrylate implant. PJOF may present aggressive clinical behavior. The excision of extensive PJOF in the orbitofrontal area can result in significant esthetic defects. Polymethacrylate implants restore functionally and esthetically the involved area.

Fibroma ossificante trabecular juvenil: um relato de caso / Juvenile ossifying fibroma: a case report

Objetivo: o fibroma ossificante trabecular juvenil (FOJT) é uma lesão fibro-óssea incomum, benigna, porém de comportamento agressivo. Ocorre, frequentemente, em crianças e adolescentes, com maior acometimento em maxila e mandíbula. O presente relato aborda os aspectos clínicos, imaginológicos, histopatológicos, imuno-histoquímicos e o tratamento de um caso de FOTJ. Além de discutir suas similaridades com o osteossarcoma de baixo grau e as alternativas para o seu diagnóstico. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo masculino, com 12 anos de idade, apresentando aumento de volume em mandíbula no lado esquerdo, perda de função mastigatória e de fala, com tempo de evolução de seis meses. Radiograficamente, a lesão apresentava aspecto unilocular, com limites definidos e de padrão misto. O tratamento consistiu em cirurgia de enucleação total da lesão, seguida de curetagem sob anestesia geral. A histopatologia e a ausência de marcação para MDM2 e CDK4 na imuno-histoquímica confirmaram o diagnóstico de FOTJ e excluíram o de osteossarcoma de baixo grau. No controle pós-operatório de 20 dias, o paciente relatou melhora da parestesia, da função mastigatória e da fala e ausência de dor. Não se observou recidiva no acompanhamento de 1 ano após a cirurgia. Considerações finais: a similaridade dos aspectos clínico, imaginológico e microscópico entre FOJT e osteossarcoma de baixo grau pressupõe o estudo imuno-histoquímico com os arcadores MDM2 e CDK4, minimizando equívocos no diagnóstico e orientando de forma mais eficiente o plano de tratamento adotado.(AU)

Objective: juvenile Trabecular Ossifying Fibromas (JTOF) are uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesions with a local aggressive behavior. They frequently occur in children and adolescents involving the jaw bones. This report addresses the clinical, imaging, histopathological, and immunohistochemical aspects and the treatment of a case of JTOF. In addition, it discusses similarities between JTOF and low-grade osteosarcomas and alternatives for their diagnosis. Case report: male patient, 12 years old, with a tumor in his left mandible, loss of masticatory function and speech, with a 6-month time course. Radiographically, the lesion had an unilocular aspect, with defined borders and a mixed image pattern. Treatment consisted surgical enucleation, followed by bone curettage, under general anesthesia. Histopathology presented fibrous stroma interspaced with bone trabeculae without signs of cellular malignancy. MDM2 and CDK4 markers in immunohistochemistry, confirmed the diagnosis of JTOF and excluded low-grade osteosarcoma. At the 20-day postoperative follow-up, the patient reported improvement in paresthesia, masticatory function and speech, and the absence of pain. Evaluation 1 year after surgery showed no signs of local recurrence. Final considerations: the similarity of clinical, imaging, and microscopic aspects between JTOF and low-grade osteosarcoma prompts an immunohistochemical study including MDM2 and CDK4 markers in order to improve final diagnosis and guide the treatment plan more efficiently.(AU)

Extensive central ossifying fibroma of mandible: case report / Extenso fibroma ossificante central em mandíbula: relato de caso

ABSTRACT A 34-year-old female patient attended a referral center for oral diagnosis presenting hardened increased volume in the posterior mandible. Panoramic radiography revealed a mixed unilocular lesion with clear and well-defined limits. The incisional biopsy showed proliferation of mesenchymal cells amid dense fibrous connective tissue. Mineralized material in different degrees of maturation was also observed. Regarding the histopathological aspects associated with the clinical, radiographic, and intraoperative data, the diagnosis of central ossifying fibroma (COF) was performed. COF has similar characteristics to other fibro-osseous lesions, and its diagnosis is a challenge for dental surgeons.

RESUMEN Paciente de 34 años de edad, acudió a un centro de referencia odontológico con aumento de volumen endurecido en la mandíbula posterior. La radiografía panorámica reveló lesión unilocular mixta, de límites precisos y definidos. La biopsia incisional demostró una proliferación de células mesenquimales en medio de un tejido conectivo fibroso denso. Aún se observó material mineralizado en diferentes grados de maduración. Considerando la histopatología, asociada a los datos clínicos, radiográficos y transquirúrgicos, el diagnóstico de fibroma osificante central (FOC) se reveló. El FOC presenta características similares a las de otras lesiones fibro-óseas, y su diagnóstico es un desafío para los cirujanos dentales.

A radiografia panorâmica revelou lesão unilocular mista, de limites precisos e definidos. A biópsia incisional evidenciou uma proliferação de células mesenquimais em meio a um tecido conjuntivo fibroso denso. Foi observado ainda material mineralizado em diferentes graus de maturação. Considerando os aspectos histopatológicos, associados aos dados clínicos, radiográficos e transcirúrgicos, o diagnóstico de fibroma ossificante central (FOC) foi revelado. O FOC apresenta características similares às de outras lesões fibro-ósseas, e seu diagnóstico é um desafio para os cirurgiões-dentistas.

Cemento-ossifying Fibroma of Mandible: A Case Report with Review of Literature

ABSTRACT Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a non-neoplastic process usually confined to the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws or edentulous alveolar processes. It is mostly seen in women during the third and fourth decades of life. The mandible is the most common location in 70% of cases in the premolar-molar region. This case report presents a case of cemento-ossifying fibroma with clinical features and radiographic features in a 23-year-old female patient.

Abordagem cirúrgica conservadora de fibroma ossificante em localização atípica da mandíbula: relato de caso / Conservative surgical approach of ossifying fibroma in atypical location of the jaw: case report

O fibroma ossificante (FO) é uma neoplasia fibro-óssea benigna da região craniofacial de origem odontogênica, formado a partir de células mesenquimais multipotentes do ligamento periodontal, as quais são capazes de formar osso, tecido fibroso e cemento. Acredita-se que exodontias prévias, infecções, trauma ou uma perturbação de origem congênita na maturação óssea poderiam servir como fatores predisponentes para o desenvolvimento do FO. Radiograficamente, as lesões de FO iniciais são representadas por uma imagem radiolúcida, unilocular, redonda ou oval, de margem bem circunscrita. No estágio tardio, o componente mineralizado é circundado por uma fina cápsula fibrosa representada por uma linha radiolúcida delgada, que envolve toda a lesão. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a abordagem cirúrgica de um FO localizado em região atípica da mandíbula. Relato de caso: paciente leucoderma, 18 anos de idade, sexo feminino, cursando com aumento de volume em região posterior mandibular direita. No exame de imagem, identificou-se uma lesão mista, bem definida, não corticalizada, medindo aproximadamente 3 cm x 2,5 cm. Após realização de biópsia incisional, confirmou-se o diagnóstico de FO. Sendo assim, optou-se pela curetagem acompanhada de uma osteotomia periférica da lesão e reabilitação da região com enxerto ósseo liofilizado, além da instalação de uma placa de reconstrução na base da mandíbula do sistema 2.4 mm. Considerações finais: É necessário ter conhecimento sobre as lesões de aspecto radiográfico misto, que podem fazer diagnóstico diferencial com o FO, para que possa ser realizada uma correta intervenção, visto que para cada lesão há uma abordagem diferente.(AU)

The ossifying fibroma (FO) is a benign fibro-osseous neoplasm of the craniofacial region of odontogenic origin, formed from multipotent mesenchymal cells of the periodontal ligament, which are capable of forming bone, fibrous tissue and cementum. It is believed that previous exodontia, infections, trauma or a disturbance of congenital origin in bone maturation could serve as predisposing factors for FO development. Radiographically, the initial FO lesions are represented by a radiolucent, unilocular, round or oval image with well circumscribed margin. In the late stage, the mineralized component is surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule represented by a thin radiolucent line, which surrounds the entire lesion. The objective of this work is to discuss the surgical approach of a FO located in the atypical region of the mandible. Case report: leucoderma patient, 18 years, female, it were possible to note a slight volume increase in the posterior mandible region. The imaging examination identified a mixed lesion, well defined, however non-corticalised, measuring about 3 cm x 2.5 cm. The patient was submitted to an incisional biopsy and the diagnosis of ossifying fibroma was confirmed. We opted for a curettage followed by a peripheral osteotomy of the lesion and rehabilitation of the region with lyophilized bovine bone graft, besides the installation of a rebuilding plate at the base of the mandible system 2.4mm. Final considerations: it is necessary to have knowledge about lesions of mixed radiographic appearance, which can make differential diagnosis with FO so that a correct intervention can be performed, since for each lesion we have a different approach.(AU)

Peripheral Ossifying Fibroma: A Review and Case Report

The peripheral ossifying fibroma appears as a solitary nodule, frequently occurring in the anterior maxilla. It begins in the cells of the periodontal ligament, and it is more common in children and young adults. Recent lesions are asymptomatic and patients can ignore their presence. However, in the absence of any treatment, they slowly increase in volume. In this paper, we describe a case report of a 40-year-old female patient reported with growth on gingiva in the upper left maxillary region of 1 year ago. The definitive diagnosis is established by histological analyze, which reveals the existence of highly cellular connective tissue with focal calcifications. Surgery is the treatment of choice, though the recurrence rate can reach 20%.

Introduction: Fibro-osseous lesions constitute a group of lesions characterized by processes of replacement of normal bone by fibrous tissue containing mineralized material. Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous neoplasm that affects young individuals, local aggressive behavior, with high rates of relapse. Two variants named trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TJOF) and psamomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF) are reported. Although both patterns demonstrate similar characteristics, the predilection for age and the sites of involvement are specific. The indicated treatment varies from enucleation and curettage to surgical resection. This article aims to report a case of a patient with juvenile ossifying fibroma in maxilla.Case report:J.S.B., 18 years old, male, sought the Surgery and Traumatology Service of Hospital Getúlio Vargas, Recife / PE, complaining of a "lump in the face" with approximately 5 years of evolution in right maxila. Patient underwent conservative surgical treatmentwas performed through enucleation, curettage and peripheral osteotomy and has been followed for about 10 months without recurrence.Final considerations: The most conservative treatment chosen was considered successful, effective, with minimal morbidity. However, because the injury is considered aggressive and because it has a high rate of recurrence, a long follow-up period is required... (AU)

Osteosarcoma of the femur in early adult: a case report

Osteosarcomas are primary malignant tumors of bone that are characterized by the production of osteoid or immature bone by the malignant cells. Osteosarcomas are uncommon tumors. Most articles reveal difficulty in diagnosing osteosarcoma in early stage due to its resemblance to benign lesion. That’s why we prefer to do case report for documentation. Diagnosis of the tumor is important especially in early stages for improving prognosis. This case report is of a 21 years old female who presented at Primary Health Care Centre with swelling above right knee post trauma a month ago. Previously she was diagnosed as Non ossifying fibroma (which is a benign lesion and uncommon to change to malignant lesion) at the same site in 2017.

Fibrodisplasia osificante progresiva. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

RESUMEN La fibrodisplasia osificante progresiva (FOP) es una enfermedad del tejido conectivo de etiología desconocida, de herencia autosómica dominante que se caracteriza por calcificaciones progresivas de las fascias, aponeurosis, ligamentos, tendones y tejido conectivo intersticial del músculo esquelético. Su prevalencia es de 1:2.000.000. Presenta desde el nacimiento morfología anormal del primer metatarsiano. Las osificaciones heterotópicas por lo común se hacen evidentes recién alrededor de los 5 años, posteriores a un trauma en los tejidos blandos. El compromiso funcional es progresivo y altamente incapacitante. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 6 años quien desde el año de edad inició las lesiones en las zonas de traumatismos, al comienzo acompañadas de dolor y signos inflamatorios que luego se petrificaban. Presentaba hállux valgus corto bilateral y se pudo corroborar la presencia de la misma malformación en un tío materno.

ABSTRACT Progressive ossifying fibrodysplasia (POF) is a connective tissue disease of unknown etiology, of autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by progressive calcifications of fasciae, aponeurosis, ligaments, tendons, and interstitial connective tissue of skeletal muscle. Its prevalence is 1: 2,000,000. Abnormal morphology of the first metatarsal is present at birth. Heterotopic ossifications usually become apparent only about 5 years after a soft tissue trauma. The functional compromise is progressive and highly disabling. We present the case of a 6-year-old boy who, beginning at one year of age, developed the lesiones in injured areas, with subsequent petrification, initially accompanied by pain and inflammatory signs. He presented bilateral short hallux valgus and we corroborated the presence of the same malformation in a maternal uncle.

O Cripto-1 é um potencial biomarcador para o diagnóstico diferencial dos tumores ósseos benignos e malignos dos maxilares / Cripto-1 is a potential biomarker for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant jaw bone tumors

O termo lesão fibro-óssea dos maxilares (LFOM) é uma designação inespecífica para um grupo de distúrbios caracterizados, morfologicamente, pela substituição do tecido ósseo por uma matriz de tecido conjuntivo fibrosa, a qual exibe neoformação de tecido ósseo com diferentes graus de mineralização. O diagnóstico preciso das LFOM não é fácil e só pode ser realizado após uma análise minuciosa dos aspectos clínicos, radiológicos e histológicos. No entanto, deve-se admitir que alguns casos desafiam a exatidão na emissão do diagnóstico. Considerando a diversidade do comportamento biológico das lesões e as pesquisas sobre a identificação de potenciais marcadores moleculares, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise imunohistoquímica do cripto-1 (CR-1) e da ß-catenina em uma série de casos diagnosticados microscopicamente como displasia fibrosa (DF) (n=30), fibroma ossificante central (FOC) (n=28) e osteossarcoma (OS) (n=5) armazenados nos arquivos do Serviço de Anatomia Patológica Oral de uma população brasileira. As expressões imuno-histoquímicas foram analisadas através de escore imunorreativo. Os dados obtidos foram inseridos em um arquivo do software Microsoft Excel® e, posteriormente, analisados no software Statistical Package for Social Science. Para todos os testes estatísticos utilizados, o nível de significância foi estabelecido em 5% (p<0,05). O CR-1 exibiu predominância de um padrão fortemente positivo para os casos de FOC e OS, e do padrão moderado para os casos de DF (p<0,001). A ß-catenina exibiu predominância do padrão negativo para os casos de FOC e DF, e do padrão fortemente positivo para os casos de OS (p=0,001). O teste de correlação de Spearman revelou correlação positiva entre os escores imunorreativos de CR-1 e ß-catenina. Os resultados desta pesquisa sugerem a participação do CR-1 na patogênese do FOC e OS, assim como o uso dessa proteína como potencial biomarcador molecular para o diagnóstico diferencial de LFOM (AU).

Fibro-osseous lesions of maxilar (FOLM) is a non-specific designation for a group of disorders characterized, morphologically, by replacement of bone tissue by a matrix of fibrous connective tissue, showing neoformation of bone tissue with varying degrees of mineralization. Precise diagnosis of FOLM is not easy, and requires careful analyisis of clinical, radiological and histological aspects. Even so, some cases still challenge accuracy in diagnosis. Considering the diversity of biological behaviour of the lesions and the research regarding identification of potential molecular markers, this study aims to perform immunohistochemical analysis of crypto-1 and ß-catenin in a series of cases diagnosed microscopically as fibrous dysplasia (FD) (n=30), central ossifying fibroma (COF) (n=28) and osteossarcoma (OS) (n=5), stored in archives of Oral Pathological Anatomy Service of a Brazilian population. Immunohistochemical expressions were analysed by imunorreactive score. All data obtained was inserted into a file of Microsoft Excel® software (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and then transferred to a database of SPSS® for Windows software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences; IBM, USA), version 20.0. For all statistical tests used, the significance level established was p ≤ 0.05. CR-1 showed a predominant pattern of strong positive in COF and OS cases, and a moderate positive in FD cases (p<0,001). ß-catenin showed a predominant negative pattern for COF and FD cases, and a predominant strong positive pattern for OS cases (p=0,001). Spearman correlation tests showed positive correlation of the imunoreative scores of CR-1 and ß-catenin. Those results suggests CR-1 could be involved in the pathogenesis of COF and OS, and this protein could be used as a potential molecular biomarker for diferential diagnosis of FOLM (AU).

Comparison of radiological and clinicopathological features of craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions / 中华病理学杂志

To investigate the clinicopathological and radiological features of benign fibro-osseous lesion (BFOL). Sixty-five cases of craniofacial BFOL, eight cases of peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) and one case of low-grade central osteosarcoma diagnosed at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2010 and March 2019 were collected. The clinicopathologic features, hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and radiographic features were analyzed. MDM2 gene amplification was detected by FISH in difficult borderline cases. This cohort of BFOLs included 50 cases of fibrous dysplasia (FD), 12 cases of ossifying fibroma (OF), and three cases of juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF). The average ages of patients with FD,OF and JPOF were 31.7, 39.2 and 26.0 years respectively. The male to female ratio was 1.0∶1.8.The average age of POF was 47.0 years, with male to female ratio of 1∶7. Patient of low-grade central osteosarcoma was a 48-year-old man. Twenty-seven cases of FD were located in the jaw, and 23 cases were in other craniofacial bones. Nine cases of OF were located in the jaw, and three cases were in the nasal cavity. Two cases of JPOF were in the nasal sinus, and one was in the jaw. All POF were located in the gingiva, and low-grade central osteosarcoma was located in the mandible. The imaging features of FD were luffa-like or ground-glass like signal shadows with poorly defined borders with expansion. OF had clear borders or sclerosing margins. Both JOF and low-grade central osteosarcoma were expansile intraosseously and with focally invasive nodular masses with ground-glass like signal shadows; and POF showed soft tissue mass with bone formation. Histological features of BFOLs showed mixed fibrous and irregular osteoid lesions. FD had no clear relationship with the host bone and no osteoblasts surrounded the bone trabeculae. Osteoblasts rimming was found in OF, and the boundaries of the host bone were clear. JPOF and low-grade central osteosarcoma infiltrated the host bone focally, and the latter showed mild cellular atypia. MDM2 amplification was detected in low-grade central osteosarcoma. BFOLs are a group of fibro-osseous lesions with similar morphology in the head and neck and face, but their clinical features and prognosis are different; and their imaging and histological characteristics are also slightly different. Attentions should be given to the combination of clinical, imaging and pathologic features of BFOLs, especially the differential diagnosis between BFOLs and low-grade central osteosarcoma. Molecular detection could be used to assist the diagnosis in difficult cases.

Three types of ossifying fibroma: A report of 4 cases with an analysis of CBCT features

Ossifying fibroma is a slow-growing benign neoplasm that occurs most often in the jaws, especially the mandible. The tumor is composed of bone that develops within fibrous connective tissue. Some ossifying fibromas consist of cementum-like calcifications, while others contain only bony material; however, a mixture of these calcification types is commonly seen in a single lesion. Of the craniofacial bones, the mandible is the most commonly involved site, with the lesion typically inferior to the premolars and molars. Ossifying fibroma of the jaw shows a female predominance. Some reports of ossifying fibroma have been published in the literature; however, this report continues the research on this topic by detailing 3 types of ossifying fibroma findings on panoramic radiographs and cone-beam computed tomographic images of 4 patients. The radiographs of the presented cases could help clinicians understand the variations in the radiographic appearance of this lesion.

MDM2 gene amplification was detected by FISH in difficult borderline cases.@*Results@#This cohort of BFOLs included 50 cases of fibrous dysplasia (FD), 12 cases of ossifying fibroma (OF), and three cases of juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF). The average ages of patients with FD,OF and JPOF were 31.7, 39.2 and 26.0 years respectively. The male to female ratio was 1.0∶1.8.The average age of POF was 47.0 years, with male to female ratio of 1∶7. Patient of low-grade central osteosarcoma was a 48-year-old man. Twenty-seven cases of FD were located in the jaw, and 23 cases were in other craniofacial bones. Nine cases of OF were located in the jaw, and three cases were in the nasal cavity. Two cases of JPOF were in the nasal sinus, and one was in the jaw. All POF were located in the gingiva, and low-grade central osteosarcoma was located in the mandible. The imaging features of FD were luffa-like or ground-glass like signal shadows with poorly defined borders with expansion. OF had clear borders or sclerosing margins. Both JOF and low-grade central osteosarcoma were expansile intraosseously and with focally invasive nodular masses with ground-glass like signal shadows; and POF showed soft tissue mass with bone formation. Histological features of BFOLs showed mixed fibrous and irregular osteoid lesions. FD had no clear relationship with the host bone and no osteoblasts surrounded the bone trabeculae. Osteoblasts rimming was found in OF, and the boundaries of the host bone were clear. JPOF and low-grade central osteosarcoma infiltrated the host bone focally, and the latter showed mild cellular atypia. MDM2 amplification was detected in low-grade central osteosarcoma.@*Conclusions@#BFOLs are a group of fibro-osseous lesions with similar morphology in the head and neck and face, but their clinical features and prognosis are different; and their imaging and histological characteristics are also slightly different. Attentions should be given to the combination of clinical, imaging and pathologic features of BFOLs, especially the differential diagnosis between BFOLs and low-grade central osteosarcoma. Molecular detection could be used to assist the diagnosis in difficult cases.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma: series of seven cases focusing on clinical and pathological aspects / Fibroma ossificante juvenil: série de sete casos com enfoque nos aspectos clinicopatológicos

ABSTRACT Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects young individuals and deserves attention because it presents an aggressive clinical behavior and high rates of recurrence. This paper aims to report seven cases diagnosed as JOF - age ranging from 11 to 39 years - in a referral center, correlating our findings with clinical and pathological aspects in the literature. The mandible was the most common location, and in three cases, painful symptoms were reported. Regarding the histopathological findings, the majority of cases exhibited a cellularized pattern, and the trabecular subtype was the most commonly found. Regarding treatment, three cases relapsed, and, in two of them, conservative treatments were performed. Accordingly, knowing the clinical-pathological aspects of JOF is important for the correct diagnosis and the establishment of an appropriate treatment that decreases the high recurrence rate of this lesion.

RESUMEN El fibroma osificante juvenil (FOJ) es una lesión fibro-ósea benigna pocofrecuente que acomete personasjóvenesy merece realce, puespresenta comportamiento clínico agresivo y altas tasas de recidivas. Reportamos siete casos diagnosticados como FOJ - con pacientes entre 11 y 39 anos de edad - en un centro de referencia, relacionando nuestros hallazgos con los aspectos clínicos y patológicos existentes en la literatura. La mandíbula fue la ubicación más común; en tres casos se reportaron síntomas dolorosos. En lo que respecta a los hallazgos histopatológicos, la mayor parte de los casos se mostró altamente celularizada, siendo el subtipo trabecular el más común. En cuanto al tratamiento, de los tres casos que presentaran recurrencia, en dos se realizaron tratamientos conservadores. Ante eso, se resalta la importancia de conocer los aspectos clínicos y patológicos del FOJ para hacer el diagnóstico preciso y establecer un tratamiento adecuado que reduzca el alto índice de recidivas de esa lesión.

RESUMO O fibroma ossificante juvenil (FOJ) é uma lesão fibro-óssea benigna incomum que acomete indivíduos jovens e merece destaque por apresentar um comportamento clínico agressivo e altas taxas de recidivas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar sete casos diagnosticados como FOJ - com variação de idade entre 11 e 39 anos - em um centro de referência, correlacionando nossos achados com os aspectos clinicopatológicos existentes na literatura. A mandíbula foi a localização mais comum; em três casos foi relatada sintomatologia dolorosa. Com relação aos achados histopatológicos, a maioria dos casos exibiu um padrão bem celularizado, sendo o subtipo trabecular o mais encontrado. No que diz respeito ao tratamento, dos três casos que apresentaram recidiva, em dois, foram realizados tratamentos conservadores. Diante disso, ressalta-se a importância do conhecimento dos aspectos clínicos epatológicos do FOJ para a realização de um diagnóstico correto e o estabelecimento de um tratamento adequado que diminua o alto índice de recidivas dessa lesão.

Fibroma ossificante central em criança: relato de caso / Central ossifying fibroma in child: case report

O fibroma ossificante central, de acordo com a última classificação da OMS, é um tumor de origem odontogênica, por apresentar origem nas células do ligamento periodontal. A maior parte das lesões são encontradas nas regiões próximas aos dentes com mais frequência em mandíbula. Acometem mais o sexo feminino e a idade mais incidente é por volta da terceira década de vida. Achados imaginológicos e/ou assimetrias faciais são as principais suspeitas. O diagnóstico deve incluir informações da anamnese, bem como exames de imagem e histopatológico que confirma a natureza da lesão. O tratamento pode variar desde uma curetagem da lesão até ressecção em bloco de acordo com o tamanho da lesão e sua localização. Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de uma paciente de 13 anos, sexo feminino, com lesão unilateral em mandíbula. O tratamento proposto, após confirmação da lesão através da biópsia incisional, foi a exérese da lesão com preservação do nervo mentual, realizado sob anestesia local. Com 6 meses de acompanhamento, a lesão se mostrou persistente, porém com alterações mediante novo histopatológico. Diante da ausência de expansão da lesão e a idade da paciente, bem como seu desenvolvimento ósseo, optou-se pela proservação do caso, com acompanhamentos semestrais. As lesões fibro-ósseas devem ser tratadas de forma individualizada e de acordo com a vivência do cirurgião, haja vista que por apresentarem curso benigno, as ressecções amplas devem ser ponderadas, nesse caso se faz necessário discutir as condutas frente a essas lesões.

Objective: The central ossifying fibroma, according to WHO's latest classification, is an odontogenic tumour, originated in the periodontal ligament cells. Most of the lesions are found in regions near the highest frequency teeth in the mandible. There was female predominance, specially on the early adulthood. Imaging test results and/or facial asymmetries are the chief reasons to have harbour suspicions. The diagnosis should include information obtained from anamnesis, and furthermore imaging and histopathological examinations that confirm the nature of the lesion. The treatment might be held differently, from tissue's lesion curettage to en bloc resection, depending on the size of the damage and its location. The authors describe the case of a 13-yearold female patient with unilateral mandible injury. Materials and methods: The suggested treatment, after the confirmation of the lesion by incisional biopsy, was an exeresis of the lesion preserving the mental nerve, under local anesthesia. After six months of constant reassessments, there was persistence of the lesion, but presenting alterations through the new histopathological test. Results: The absence of lesion injury and the age of the patient, along with her bone development, leaded to the proservation of the case, with semi-annual reexamination. Conclusions: Fibroosseous lesions must be treated severally, in conformity with the surgeon's experience. Considering that it presents benign course, the broad resections might be pondered, being adamant to discuss the adequate conduct with such injuries.
