Juvenile ossifying fibroma and aneurysmal bone cyst in the mandible: A case report and mini review of literature

Abstract

Background

Hybrid tumors of fibro-osseous and giant cell lesions are rare presentations with few reported cases.

Case presentation

Here we present a case of a 9-year-old boy with a swollen right posterior mandible. The lesion was diagnosed as a hybrid Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTrOF) with aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). This article displays the case clinically, radiographically, surgically, and histologically, besides discussing in a mini review the possible etiopathogenesis of this type of hybrid lesions.

Conclusion

We reported a rare case of hybrid JTrOF and ABC with a recommendation of further reporting of similar cases for better understanding of the pathogenesis and detecting the best treatment methods.
