Fibroma ossificante juvenil trabecular: relato de caso / Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma: case report / Fibroma osificante trabecular juvenil: reporte de un caso

O fibroma ossificante juvenil trabecular (FOJTr) é uma lesão fibro-óssea benigna rara de comportamento agressivo, alto potencial de recorrência, e acometimento no esqueleto craniofacial de crianças e adolescentes. Uma paciente do gênero feminino, 8 anos de idade, compareceu ao ambulatório de Patologia Oral e Maxilofacial da Universidade de Gurupi ­ UNIRG para avaliação clínica de um aumento de volume na região de corpo da mandíbula do lado esquerdo. Não havia sintomatologia dolorosa e sequer desconforto. Nos exames de imagem (radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada) foram observados uma extensa área radiolúcida que se estendia desde o primeiro molar permanente com rizogênese incompleta até o incisivo central do lado oposto. Após a realização da biópsia incisional e laudos histopatológicos realizou-se a remoção completa da lesão incluindo os remanescentes decíduos sobrejacentes ao fibroma. Nas imagens de controle pós-operatório aos 90 dias (radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada), notou-se sinais de neoformação óssea com espessamento basilar e os germes dos dentes permanentes em franco desenvolvimento. Diante disso, ressalta-se a importância do conhecimento dos aspectos clínicos, radiográficos e histopatológicos para a realização de um correto diagnóstico e tratamento adequado afim de reduzir as altas taxas de recidivas...

Trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TrJOF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous lesion, with aggressive behavior, high recurrence potential, which affects the craniofacial skeleton of children and adolescents. This paper aims to describe a clinical case in a female patient, 8 years old, who attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology outpatient clinic ­ Faculty of Dentistry ­ University of Gurupi - UNIRG, city of Gurupi - TOCANTINS - BRAZIL for clinical evaluation of an increased in volume in the region of the mandible body, on the left side. There was no painful symptomatology or even discomfort. Imaging examinations (panoramic radiography and computed tomography (CT) showed an extensive radiolucent area that extended from the first permanent molar with incomplete root formation to the central incisor on the opposite side. After performing an incisional biopsy and histopathological examination, the lesion was completely removed included the remainder deciduous teeth overlying the tumor. In the postoperative control images at 90 days (panoramic radiography and CT), signs of bone neoformation with basilar thickening and the germs of the permanent teeth in full development were noted.

Central Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma: Clinical Imaging and Histopathological Diagnosis / Fibroma Cemento-Osificante Central: Diagnóstico Clínico, Imagenológico e Histológico

ABSTRACT: Central ossifying fibroma is a lesion in which diagnosis has proved intriguing and unclear for presenting clinical, radiographic, and even histopathological similarities to other types of lesions such as the fibrous dysplasia of bone and cement-bone dysplasia. It is a benign neoplasm of uncertain etiology and slow development in which the mandible is affected more frequently than the maxilla. We described a case of central cemento-ossifying fibroma involving the right mandible of a thirty-five-female patient by presenting its clinical, radiographic, and histological characteristic sand discussing some differential diagnoses.

RESUMEN: El fibroma cemento-osificante central es una lesión que requiere un diagnóstico diferencial ya que muestran similitud clínica, histológica y radiológica con la displasia fibrosa y con la displasia cemento-ósea. Esta lesión es un tumor benigno de etiología incierta, presenta crecimiento lento y afecta principalmente la mandíbula más que el maxilar. Se reporta un caso de un paciente de sexo femenino de 35 años, diagnosticada con fibroma cementoosificante central que le afectó el lado derecho de la mandíbula. Se describen las características clínicas, histológicas y radiológicas de la paciente y se discuten los diversos diagnósticos diferenciales.

Fibroma osificante periférico de establecimiento precoz: reporte de un caso / Early onset peripheral ossifying fibroma: Presentation of a case

RESUMEN: El fibroma osificante periférico (FOP) es una hipertrofia benigna de los tejidos. Se localiza en la región de la papila interdental, proveniente de células que derivan del ligamento periodontal. Generalmente mide menos de 1,5cm de diámetro, siendo muy raro en recién nacidos. El objetivo de la presentación de este caso clínico es describir un caso de FOP en un bebé de 6 meses de edad. La niña presentaba una lesión nodular localizada en la mucosa gingival, en el área de incisivos inferiores, de aproximadamente 1,5cm diámetro, de consistencia firme, lisa, y coloración igual a la de la mucosa subyacente. Un diente neonatal había sido removido a los 2 meses de nacida. El FOP es una lesión poco común y que raramente puede encontrarse en bebés menores de un año de edad; por este motivo es importante realizar el diagnóstico adecuado, para evitar cualquier complicación debido a su establecimiento precoz y rápido crecimiento.

ABSTRACT: The peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a rare, reactive and inflammatory gingival overgrowth, arising on the interdental papilla, from cells derived of the periodontal ligament. Usually its diameter is less than 1.5 cm. It's uncommon in newborns, frequently occurring in teenagers and young adult. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of FOP in a six months old baby. She had a nodular lesion, located on the gingival mucosa of the lower incisor area, of approximately 1.5 cm; it was firm, smooth, pedunculated, with an equal color of the underlying mucosa. A neonatal tooth had been removed four months back. Although FOP is a rare injury, it can be found in infants with less than one year of age, which is why it is important to make the right diagnosis, and an opportune treatment, to avoid further complications due to its early establishment and rapid growth.

Fibroma osificante periférico diagnóstico y tratamiento / Ossifying fibroma peripheral treatment diagnosis and case report

Las lesiones de encía, y otras lesiones nodulares que se presentan en la cavidad bucal son muy importantes para el odontólogo en la práctica general, conocer las características para su identificación desde el punto de vista clínico e histológico es de interés sobre todo en esta región donde hay pocos aportes en lo que respecta a patología oral. El presente reporte de caso muestra la evidencia clínica de una paciente femenina de 22 años con una lesión en tumoral de aproximadamente 1cm sobre la zona de 1.2, y una evidencia histopatológica para lo cual se hace la remoción del tumor, el cual es colocado en formaldehido al 10% para ser procesado para su análisis histopatológico cuyos resultados muestran las características de una lesión compatible de fibroma osificante periférico (FOP), concluimos que es importante determinar el diagnóstico diferencial con el granuloma piógeno y otras lesiones parecidas con un análisis histopatológico.

Fibroma ossificante periférico ­ Relato longitudinal de dois casos clínicos / Long-term follow-up of peripheral ossifying fibroma ­ report of two cases

O fibroma ossificante periférico é uma lesão não neoplásica proliferativa, não patognomônico, de evolução lenta e indolor, que acomete os tecidos gengivais. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo relatar dois casos clínicos desta lesão em um acompanhamento em longo prazo, ressaltando os aspectos clínicos e histopatológicos, bem como seu tratamento e prognóstico.

The peripheral ossifying fibroma is a non-neoplasic, proliferative lesion of painless and slow evolutive character, which involves the gingival tissues. This paper reports on two clinical cases in a long-term follow-up highlightening their clinical and histopathologic aspects, treatment, and outcomes.

Central Ossifying Fibroma of the Maxilla (Matured Type): Report of a Rare Case.

Central ossifying fi broma is a bony tumor, which is believed to be derived from the cells of the periodontal ligament. Central ossifying fi broma behaves like, a benign bone neoplasm. Th is bone tumor consists of highly cellular, fi brous tissue that contains varying amounts of calcifi ed tissue resembling bone, cementum, or both. Central ossifying fi bromas of the mandible are common; however, they are rare in the maxillary region however they are common in the mandible, have got a female predeliction and is usually seen in the age between 35 and 40 years of age. In this report, we have described a 35-year-old female with minimal clinical symptoms diagnosed as central ossifying fi broma in the anterior maxillary region.

Desafios na reconstrução mandibular devido a lesões extensas ou traumatismos / Challenges in mandibular reconstruction due to extensive injuries or trauma

A perda de grande parte do osso mandibular, seja devido à necessidade de ressecção óssea ou por outros fatores como a ocorrência de traumatismos, afeta diretamente a vida dos pacientes. Mesmo com a melhoria contínua dos materiais, surgimento de novas tecnologias e técnicas cirúrgicas, o tratamento dessas grandes lesões e perdas ósseas permanece como grande desafio ao cirurgião. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi relatar dois casos clínicos de pacientes, sendo um de fibroma ossificante central de mandíbula que foi submetido à ressecção mandibular e tratado através da colocação de uma placa de reconstrução do sistema 2.4 mm. O segundo caso envolveu perda de substancia devido a paciente ter sido vitima de ferimento por arma de fogo (FAF), evoluindo com fratura do sistema de fixação colocado na primeira cirurgia. Em segundo momento cirúrgico a paciente foi submetida à reconstrução óssea do defeito, associado à colocação de nova fixação. Deste modo, podemos afirmar que os procedimentos reconstrutivos são importantes instrumentos para tratamento dos pacientes.

The loss of much of the mandibular bone, is due to the need for bone resection or by other factors such as the occurrence of injuries, directly affects the lives of patients. Even with the continuous improvement of materials, development of new technologies and surgical techniques, treatment of these large lesions and bone loss is still a major challenge for the surgeon. In this sense, the objective of this study was to report two clinical cases of patients, a central ossifying fibroma of the mandible who underwent mandibular resection and treated by placement of a reconstruction plate system 2.4mm. The second case involved loss of substance because the patient has been the victim of injury by firearms (FAF), evolving with fracture fixation system placed in the first surgery. In the second surgical time the patient underwent bone reconstruction of the defect associated with the placement of new fixation. Thus, we can say that reconstructive procedures are important tools for treatment of patients.

Psammomatoid Type Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma of Mandible: A Rare Entity.

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.

Fibroma osificante: presentación de un caso clínico en mandíbula y revisión de la literatura / Ossifying fibroma: presentation of a clinical case in the jaw and review of the literature

El fibroma osificante es un tumor benigno casi idéntico al fibroma cementificante. Se inscribe dentro de las llamadas lesiones fibroóseas, como la displasia fibrosa y la displasia cemento-osificante, que se caracterizan por el reemplazo de la arquitectura ósea normal por fibroblastos, tejido fibroso y cantidades variables de tejido mineralizado. Debido a sus características clínicas, radiológicas e histológicas, la clasificación de estas lesiones ha sido muy controversial. Presentamos un caso clínico en mandíbula, detalladno su diagnóstico y tratamiento y una revisión de la literatura...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma: A case report / Fibroma osificante periférico: Reporte de un caso

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a relatively uncommon gingival growth that is considered to be reactive in nature and appear secondary to irritation or trauma. It presents as an exophytic growth with smooth surface. POF in older age group, observance of calcification in radiograph of excised specimen, pathologic migration, mobility and size greater than 2 cm is an occasional entity. The article presents such a rare case of POF in a 60-year-old female patient which was treated by surgical excision. This case contradicts the logic that this lesion occurs in teenagers and in second and third decades of life

El fibroma osificante periférico (FOP) es un crecimiento gingival poco común, considerado reactivo por su naturaleza y en general se manifiesta secundario a una irritación o trauma y se presenta como un crecimiento exofítico de superficie lisa. En grupos de mayor edad, el FOP muestra calcificación radiográfica, migración patológica, movilidad y un tamaño mayor de 2 cm, es de carácter ocasional. Se presenta un caso raro de FOP en una paciente de 60 años que fue tratado mediante excisión quirúrgica. Este caso, contradice su lógica de aparición en adolescentes o adultos entre la segunda y tercera década de la vida

Multicentric variant of peripheral ossifying fibroma.

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a solitary over growth of the gingiva known to arise from the cells of the periodontal ligament. The lesions usually start as a painless overgrowth of the interdental papilla unless associated with trauma and gradually involve the other counter parts of the gingiva. The lesion is more considered to be an inflammatory or reactive process rather than to be neoplastic. Here, the authors present a unique case of multiple POF in a young male adult aged 24 years where surgical excision was carried out quadrant wise. The biopsy specimen from multiple sites revealed similar histopathologic features consistent with POF, but also with the multicentric presentation of POF, which is a unique phenomenon. Multicentric variant of POF is indeed a rare case being only the second case so far which has been documented. Management of such case needs a multidisciplinary approach to prevent the recurrence along with regular long time follow-up.

Osteoblastoma: presentación de caso clínico y revisión de la literatura / Maxillary osteoblastoma: report of a case and review of literature

El Osteoblastoma (OB) es un tumor benigno formador de tejido óseo de aparición muy rara en los maxilares. Su diagnóstico puede ser un gran reto para el patólogo bucal, ya que las características histopatológicas se asemejan a otros tumores más frecuentes en el macizo maxilofacial; por lo que es importante conocer a profundidad sus características clínicas, radiográficas e histopatológicas que nos conduzcan al diagnóstico asertivo de OB. Hasta los actuales momentos la última recopilación de casos de OB maxilares publicados en la literatura fue hecha por Morelos et al hasta el año 2011, quien obtuvo 88 casos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue realizar una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva de casos documentados hasta la fecha en revisiones sistemáticas previas, obteniéndose 119 casos de OB maxilares. Adicionalmente, se aporta un caso más de OB de maxilar superior a la literatura académica...

Osteoblastoma is a rare bone-forming tumor that very rarely involves the jaws. The diagnosis should be very difficult to oral pathology expert because their histopathologic features are resembled with other bony tumors of the maxillofacial region. Therefore, is very important have depth knowledge about the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of OB, to make the correct diagnosis. Before this report, the last collection of maxillary OB cases was made by Morelos et al until the year 2011; they obtained 88 cases in their study. The main aim of this research was provide a systematic review of previously published cases; the result was 119 cases of maxillary OB. In addition, this paper added one more case of this rare lesion to the academic literature...

Fibroma osificante periférico asociado a resorción ósea: revisión de la literatura y presentación de un caso / Peripheral ossifying fibroma associated with bone resorption: literature review and presentation of a case

El Fibroma Osificante Periférico (FOP) es una hiperplasia reactiva del tejido conjuntivo que contiene áreas de hueso. Se origina a partir del ligamento periodontal. Se presenta con frecuencia en la segunda y tercera década de vida, con mayor frecuencia en el género femenino. Se observa como una lesión sésil o pediculada, circunscrita, lisa o ulcerada, firme y del mismo color de la mucosa, asintomático. Se localiza en la encía, por lo general en papilas interdentales. En gran parte de los casos no se lesiona el hueso subyacente. Se reporta un caso de un paciente masculino de 47 años de edad, quien es referido por su odontólogo tratado por una lesión en el maxilar. El paciente refiere inicio de la enfermedad hace aproximadamente un año, que comienza con un aumento de volumen de la encía, asintomático, sangrante y asociada a dientes con movilidad dentaria. Al examen extrabucal se observa un aumento de volumen de la mejilla izquierda que produce asimetría facial. Intrabucalmente se observa una lesión de naturaleza tumoral que se desprende de la encía vestibular distal al 25 al diente 28, de aproximadamente 3cm de diámetro, circunscrita, roja, sangrante y de superficie ulcerada. El examen radiográfico revela una gran resorción ósea del hueso alveolar que produjo movilidad de los dientes 25, 27 y 28. Se planteó como diagnóstico provisional: Lesión Periférica de Células Gigantes y como diagnósticos diferenciales: Fibroma Osificante Periférico, Granuloma Piogénico. La conducta a seguir fue extirpación quirúrgica de la lesión para posterior estudio histopatológico con exodoncias de los dientes 25, 27 y 28. Se destaca la importancia de este caso por su presentación clínica de gran tamaño y la destrucción ósea que produjo, condición que determinó las exodoncias de los dientes involucrados, hecho que es inusual para este tipo de patologías

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue containing areas of bone. It originates from the periodontal ligament. It occurs frequently in the second and third decades, predominantly in females. It appears as a sessile or pedunculated lesion, circumscribed, smooth or ulcerated, firm, and the color of the mucosa, asymptomatic. Located in the gum, usually in interdental papillae. In most cases no underlying bone is injured. We report a case of a male patient aged 47 who are referred by your dentist treated for an injury to the jaw. The patient reported onset of illness for about a year, which begins with an enlargement of the gums, asymptomatic, bleeding and teeth associated with tooth mobility. Extra-oral examination showed an increase in volume of the left cheek that produces facial asymmetry. The oral examination shows tumoral lesion of nature that emerges from the buccal gingiva distal to the tooth 28 to 25, approximately 3 cm in diameter, circumscribed, red, bleeding and ulcerated surface. Radiographic examination reveals a large alveolar bone resorption resulting in tooth mobility 25, 27 and 28. Was raised as a provisional diagnosis: Peripheral giant cell lesion as a differential diagnosis: peripheral ossifying fibroma, pyogenic granuloma. The action to take was surgical removal of the lesion for subsequent histopathological study extractions of teeth 25, 27 and 28. The importance of this case the clinical presentation and the large bone destruction that occurred, a condition that determined the extractions of the teeth involved, a fact which is unusual for this type of pathology

Fibroma cemento-osificante mandibular: presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Mandibular cemento-ossifying fibroma: case report and review of the literature

Objetivo: presentar una patología tumoral odontogénica de baja frecuencia y complejo diagnóstico diferencial. Caso clínico: el fibroma cemento-osificante es considerado un raro e infrecuente proceso neoplásico benigno, cuyos elementos originarios se encuentran en el ligamento periodontal. Se conoce generalmente también como fibroma osificante (World Health Organization Classification of Tumors - WHO Classification, 2005), con dos variantes histológicas: el fibroma cemento-osificante trabecular juvenil (JTOF) y el fibroma cemento-osificante juvenil psamomatoide (JPOF). La clínica y los estudios radiológicos pueden ayudar a su diferenciación, demarcación y/o encapsulación del fibroma. Conclusiones: es el estudio anatomo-patológico el determinante de la conducta a seguir. El fibroma cemento-osificante radiográficamente podría conofundirse con otros tipos de lesiones, pero éste en particular posee un comportamiento benigno.

The varying clinical presentations of peripheral ossifying fibroma: a report of three cases / As diversas apresentações de fibroma ossificante periférico: relato de três casos

PURPOSE: Gingival growths are one of the most frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity. Most of these lesions are innocuous, but some do have malignant potential. Different lesions with similar clinical presentations make it difficult to arrive at a correct diagnosis. One of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions is peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF). Lesions with histological features similar to POF have been given various names, adding to the confusion. We report the varied clinicopathological features of 3 cases of POF, discuss the contentious nomenclature and investigate the possible etiopathogenesis of this disease. CASE DESCRIPTION: Three cases of gingival growths (POF) are reported. Two of the lesions occurred in the maxillary anterior region, while the third occurred in the mandibular posterior region. Two of the cases showed radiographic evidence of bone loss. An excision biopsy was performed in all three cases. CONCLUSION: Because the rate of recurrence for peripheral ossifying fibroma is 8% to 20%, close postoperative monitoring is required. It is also necessary to use consistent and specific nomenclature in the literature to avoid confusion and the loss of important data.

OBJETIVO: Crescimentos gengivais são uma das doenças mais frequentemente encontradas na cavidade oral. A maioria dessas lesões são inócuas, mas alguns têm potencial maligno. Lesões diferentes com apresentações clínicas semelhantes tornam difícil um diagnóstico correto. Uma das lesões gengivais que ocorre raramente é o fibroma ossificante periférico (FOP). Lesões com características histológicas semelhantes ao FOP têm nomenclatura diferente, aumentando a confusão. Este artigo relata as características clinico-patológicos de 3 casos de fibroma ossificante periférico. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Três casos de FOP são relatados. Duas das lesões ocorreram na região anterior da maxila, enquanto a terceira localizava-se na região posterior da mandíbula. Dois dos casos apresentaram evidências radiográficas de perda óssea. Biópsia excisional foi realizada em todos os três casos. CONCLUSÃO: Como a taxa de recorrência para FOP é de 8% a 20%, o monitoramento pós-operatório é necessário. Deve-se utilizar nomenclatura consistente e específica na literatura para evitar confusão e perda de dados importantes.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma.

Cemento-ossifying fibromas (COFs) are benign lesions affecting the jaws and other craniofacial bones. They commonly affect adult females between the third and fourth decade of life, predominantly occurring in the premolar/molar region of the mandible. Most of the lesions typically show slow and often expansile growth, centrally within the jaw and characteristically behave in a benign form, but occasionally they may present as an aggressive gigantiform lesion. Radiographically, they appear as well-defined unilocular or multilocular intraosseous masses. The lesion is invariably encapsulated and of mixed radiolucent densities. The tumor may grow quite extensively; thus, the term "aggressive" is sometimes applied. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. They are insensitive to radiotherapy and recurrences are uncommon. Clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of COF and other fibro-osseous lesions are overlapping and may cause confusion in classification, diagnosis and treatment.

Retalho deslocado lateralmente na correção de recessão gengival causada pela excisão cirúrgica de um fibroma ossificante periférico: relato de caso / Use of laterally positioned flap to correct gingival recession caused by excisional biopsy of peripheral ossifying fibroma: case report

o presente relato de caso refere-se a um paciente do sexo masculino (JP) de 45 anos que compareceu à clínica do Centro de Extensão, Treinamento e Aperfeiçoamento em Odontologia (CETAOl, com a seguinte queixa principal: "Sanqramento na gengiva" (sic). Na anamnese não foi relatada nenhuma alteração sistêmica. No exame extraoral nada digno de nota foi observado, No exame intraoral, notou-se um nódulo, levemente consistente, na região da gengiva marginal vestibular dos incisivos inferiores (entre os dentes 41 e 32), de coloração semelhante à mucosa, liso e com dimensões de 1,6 cm x 1,0 em, associado à retração gengival no dente 31. Após a realização de procedimentos básicos, e devido aos possíveis diagnósticos diferenciais, optou-se pela biopsia excisional da lesão e correção cirúrgica da retração no mesmo tempo operatório, através da técnica de retalho deslocado lateralmente. A lesão foi levada ao exame histopato- lógico, revelando como diagnóstico fibroma ossificante periférico. O paciente não apresentou nenhuma complicação pós-cirúrgica e após 10 meses de acompanhamento observou-se um recobrimento radicular significativo, sem a presença de recidiva da lesão.

This paper describes the treatment of a male patient, 45 years old, who showed up at the office complaining about gingival bleeding. No relevant information was detected in the inter- view and the extra-oral examination. The intra-oral examination revealed a firm nodule (t.scrn x 1,Ocm) at the marginal gingiva of the buccal aspect of the lower incisors (between 41 and 32). The color of the lesion was similar to the oral mucosa and a gingival recession was asso- ciated with the buccal aspect of tooth 31. After root scaling and dental hygiene orientation, the diagnostic hypotheses were evaluated and indicated a good prognosis with low chance of recurrence. Thus, the adopted surgical approach included the nodule removal and the root co- verage of tooth 31 recession, by the laterally positioned flap technique, at the same procedure. The histopathological diagnosis of the lesion was peripheral ossifying fibroma. Ten months after surgery, no complications were reported and significant root coverage oftooth 31 recession was obtained without recurrence of the lesion.

Tumor fibromixoide osificante simulando un cáncer anaplásico de tiroides: reporte de un caso / Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of the neck: case report

El tumor fibromixoide osificante corresponde a una neoplasia infrecuente, de comportamiento benigno pero que presenta recurrencia en un tercio de los casos, comportándose como un sarcoma de bajo grado. Se reporta el caso de una paciente operada de tiroides en dos oportunidades en 9 años, cuyo diagnóstico final fue tumor fibromixoide osificante.

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft parts in an uncommon tumor with a benign behavior but with a tendency to relapse. We report a 76 years old female presenting with a growing mass located in the anterior portion of the neck that was excised. The pathological study disclosed an anaplastic thyroid cancer. The patient received chemotherapy and was lost from follow up. Nine years later, she presented with progressive dysphagia. A neck CT scan showed a mass in the left thyroid base that completely included the cervical esophagus. The patient was operated and the mass was excised. The pathological diagnosis disclosed an ossifying fibromyxoid tumor.

Osteoid osteoma.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of the bone which arises from osteoblasts and is extremely rare in jaws. Only 15 cases of osteoid osteoma have been reported in English-language literature. This case report is presented here due to its rarity.
