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)

Rehabilitación bucal después de la retirada de un fibroma cemento-osificante central / Oral rehabilitation after removal of a central cemento-ossifying fibroma

ABSTRACT Introduction: The cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign bone neoplasm that affects mainly the female sex during the third or fourth decades of life. This lesion has a slow growth and the treatment is the surgical removal of the tumor, because radiotherapy is not indicated. Objective: to describe and discuss a case of central cemento-ossifying fibroma. Case report: A 41-year-old female patient sought dental treatment due to tooth mobility in the anterior region of the mandible. In this region of the mandible, an increase in volume was noted with a firm consistency on palpation, covered by normal mucosa, and displacement of teeth. Radiographically, the presence of an extensive lesion in this region was observed. An incisional biopsy was performed which led to the final diagnosis of central cemento-ossifying fibroma. Subsequently the tumor was completely removed. An autogenous bone graft was performed and four osseointegrated implants were installed to rehabilitate the patient. Implant-supported prostheses (lower arch) and a complete denture (upper arch) were installed to restore esthetics and function of the patient's oral cavity. Conclusion: Despite being a benign tumor, the central cemento-ossifying fibroma caused functional and aesthetic damage to the patient and required a complex rehabilitation treatment. After approximately 5 years of tumor removal, there was no recurrence of the lesion or signs of peri-implant or periodontal diseases, evidencing the success of the treatments(AU)

RESUMEN Introducción: El fibroma cemento-osificante es una neoplasia ósea benigna que afecta principalmente al sexo femenino durante la tercera o cuarta décadas de la vida. Esta lesión tiene un crecimiento lento y el tratamiento es la extirpación quirúrgica del tumor, porque la radioterapia no está indicada. Objetivo: Describir y analizar un caso de un fibroma cemento-osificante central. Presentación caso: Paciente de 41 años de edad buscó tratamiento dental debido a la movilidad dental en la región anterior de la mandíbula. En esta región de la mandíbula se observó un aumento de volumen con una consistencia firme a la palpación, cubierta por la mucosa normal y desplazamiento de los dientes. Radiográficamente, se observó la presencia de una lesión extensa en esta región. Se realizó una biopsia incisional, que indicó el diagnóstico final del fibroma cemento-osificante central. Después el tumor fue completamente extirpado. Se realizó un injerto óseo autógeno y, posteriormente, se instalaron cuatro implantes osteointegrados para rehabilitar al paciente. Se instalaron prótesis soportadas por implantes (arco inferior) y una dentadura (arco superior) para restablecer la estética y la función de la cavidad bucal de la paciente. Conclusiones: A pesar de ser un tumor benigno, el fibroma cemento-osificante central causó daños funcionales y estéticos al paciente y requirió un complejo tratamiento de rehabilitación. Después de 5 años de la extirpación del tumor, no hubo recurrencia de la lesión. Además, no hubo signos de enfermedades periimplantarias y/o periodontales, lo que demuestra el éxito del tratamiento(AU)

Cemento-Osseous Dysplasias: Imaging Features Based on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Scans

Abstract Imaging exams have important role in diagnosis of cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) stands out for allowing three-dimensional image evaluation. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of cases diagnosed as COD on CBCT scans, as well identify the main imaging features related to these lesions. An analysis was performed in a database containing 22,400 radiological reports, in which all cases showing some type of COD were initially selected. These CBCT exams were reevaluated to confirm the radiographic diagnosis and determine the prevalence and distribution of the types of COD with regard to gender, age and preferred location, while describing its most common imaging aspects. Data were presented using descriptive analyses. There were 82 cases diagnosed as COD in the CBCT images (prevalence of 0.4%). The distribution of patients was 11 (13.4%) male and 71 (86.6%) female, with a mean age of 49.8 years (age-range 17-85 years). There were 47 (57.3%) cases of periapical COD, 23 (28%) of focal COD and 12 (14.6%) of florid COD. The mandible was more affected than the maxilla. In most cases, the lesions were mixed or hyperdense. All COD had well-defined limits and there were no cases of tooth displacement. In conclusion, periapical COD was the most common type and the most affected bone was the mandible. Imaging evaluation is critical for diagnosis and dentists should bear in mind all possible radiographic presentations of COD in order to prevent misleading diagnoses and consequently, inadequate treatments.

Resumo Os exames por imagem têm papel importante no diagnóstico da displasia cemento-óssea (DCO). A tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico (TCFC) se destaca por permitir a avaliação tridimensional da imagem. O objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência de casos diagnosticados como DCO nos exames de TCFC, bem como identificar as principais características de imagem relacionadas a essas lesões. Uma análise foi realizada em um banco de dados contendo 22.400 laudos radiológicos, no qual todos os casos que apresentavam algum tipo de DCO foram inicialmente selecionados. Estes exames foram reavaliados para confirmar o diagnóstico radiográfico e determinar a prevalência e distribuição dos tipos de DCO em relação ao sexo, idade e localização preferencial, além de descrever seus aspectos imaginológicos mais comuns. Os dados foram apresentados por meio de análise descritiva. Oitenta e dois casos foram diagnosticados como DCO nas imagens de TCFC (prevalência de 0,4%). A distribuição dos pacientes foi de 11 (13,4%) homens e 71 (86,6%) mulheres, com idade média de 49,8 anos (faixa etária de 17 a 85 anos). Houve 47 (57,3%) casos de DCO periapical, 23 (28%) de DCO focal e 12 (14,6%) de DCO florida. A mandíbula foi mais afetada que a maxila. Na maioria dos casos, as lesões foram mistas ou hiperdensas. Todas as DCO apresentaram limites bem definidos e não houve casos de deslocamento dentário. Em conclusão, a DCO periapical foi o tipo mais comum e o osso mais afetado foi a mandíbula. A avaliação da imagem é crítica para o seu diagnóstico e os dentistas devem ter em mente todas as possíveis apresentações radiográficas da DCO, a fim de prevenir diagnósticos enganosos e, conseqüentemente, tratamentos inadequados.

Tratamento cirúrgico de cementoblastoma assintomático em elemento hígido / Surgical treatment of asymptomatic cementoblastoma in higid element

O cementoblastoma benigno é uma lesão patológica rara, de origem odontogênica, caracterizada pela proliferação anormal de cementoblastos, o que forma, consequentemente, uma massa de tecido semelhante a cemento. Na maioria dos casos, é encontrado em associação com primeiros molares inferiores. Ocorre mais frequentemente em caucasianos, entre as 2ª e 3ª décadas de vida, afetando, assim, raramente dentes decíduos. Geralmente, apresenta sintomatologia dolorosa e expansão de corticais ósseas. Seu tratamento vai desde a remoção completa da lesão com extração do dente envolvido até o tratamento endodôntico com preservação do elemento dentário. No presente artigo, relata-se um caso de cementoblastoma benigno em uma paciente de 23 anos sem sintomatologia dolorosa e ao exame clínico nada de anormal foi observado, sendo tratada através da remoção da lesão e extração do dente...

La displasia cemento ósea florida y su diagnóstico diferencial / The Florid cemento-bony dysplasia and the differential diagnosis

Las lesiones benignas fibro-óseas de los maxilares constituyen un grupo diverso de enfermedades con una característica histológica común: la sustitución de hueso normal por tejido compuesto de colágeno y fibroblastos, con cantidades variables de una sustancia mineral que puede ser de hueso, cemento o ambos. Estas lesiones incluyen la displasia fibrosa, la displasia cemento-ósea en sus variantes: periapical, focal o florida, el cementoma gigantiforme familiar y el fibroma osificante cemento-osificante. La osteomielitis es un proceso inflamatorio agudo o crónico de los espacios medulares o corticales del hueso, que se extiende más allá del sitio inicial de desenvolvimiento. La osteomielitis esclerosante difusa es más frecuente en adultos, principalmente en la mandíbula. Se presenta radiográficamente como una lesión radiopaca difusa adyacente a los dientes, que puede ser multifocal. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir un caso inusual de lesión fibro-ósea, cuyo diagnóstico diferencial se hizo también con la osteomielitis de los maxilares. Se concluyó que las lesiones fibro-óseas benignas, presentaron muchas similitudes con respecto a sus aspectos clínicos, radiográficos e histológicos. Por lo tanto, es fundamental el análisis conjunto de estas informaciones para obtener un diagnóstico definitivo(AU)

The benign fibrous-bony lesions are a diverse group of diseases with common features: replacement of normal bone by tissue composed of collagen and fibroblasts, with variable amounts of a mineral substance that could be bone, cement or both. These lesions include the fibrous dysplasia, the periapical cement-bony dysplasia, focal or florid, familiar giant cementoma and ossifying fibroma (cement-ossifying). Osteomyelitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory process of medullar or cortical spaces of bone extending beyond the onset site of development. Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis involves to adults mainly the mandible and radiographically is a diffuse radiopaque lesion adjacent to teeth and could be multifocal. The aim of present paper is to describe an uncommon case of fibrous-bony lesion also diagnosed with maxillary osteomyelitis. We conclude that the above mentioned lesions are very similar regarding its clinical, radiographic and histological features. Thus, it is fundamental the combined analysis of these informations to obtain a definite diagnosis(AU)

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: report of three symptomatic cases

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia [FLCOD] is a fibroosseous lesion that affects the jaw of middle-aged women. This lesion occurs more frequently in Black and Asians. A familial trend has been reported for some cases. This lesion may be completely asymptomatic and in such cases the lesion is detected in the radiographs incidentally. Radiographic features include multiple radiopaque masses, usually located in three or four quadrants or can be extensive throughout one jaw. However, when they are present in only one jaw, the mandible is the more common location. In this paper we report three cases of FLCOD that had evidences of infection as the first presentation

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: Review and report of two cases.

Only three Indian patients of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia have been reported (less than 2%), according to the review of recent literature (2003). This makes the occurrence of FCOD a relatively rare phenomenon. The age group may vary from 19-76 years and typically presents in the fourth and fifth decade. In most of the cases, patients do not have family history of the disease. We report two cases showing classic radiologic features. The diagnosis of our cases were made radiographically.

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is probably the most common fibro-osseous lesion encountered in clinical practice. It is thought to be a reactive phenomenon that arises from elements within the periodontal ligament. Here we present a case of 37-year-old female patient, who reported for a regular dental check-up. Incidentally, mixed radiopaque-radiolucent lesions were found bilaterally in the radiograph. Based on the clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, we arrived at a diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
