RESUMO
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare type of tumor originating from the bones of the face or cranium. It usually arises in the maxilla and rarely in the mandible. The complications related to the tumor are because of local expansion and resultant effect on the nearby organs. We present the case of an eight-year-old girl with a history of headache and chronic epistaxis for the past six months who presented acutely to the hospital due to swelling, redness, and pain in both eyes, with continuous epistaxis. After investigations, she was found to have a nasal tumor that was confirmed to be JOF of the nasal bone on histopathology. Surgical management was done and the tumor was resected.
