Psammomatoid and trabecular variants of juvenile ossifying fibroma - Two case reports

Abstract

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare fibro-osseous lesion, which even though benign, is an aggressive lesion and can cause considerable morbidity and mortality. It can further be subclassified as Trabecular and Psammomatoid variants of Juvenile ossifying fibroma. The aggressive nature of the disease can cause alarm among clinicians as it mimics more serious conditions like osteosarcoma. An early intervention can control the extent of destruction caused by the disease. Here we are presenting case reports of Psammomatoid variant and Trabecular variant of Juvenile ossifying fibroma in a 14-year-old male and 6-year-old female child respectively.
