Ossifying fibroma mimiking jaw tumour: A radiographic dilema.

Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) of the craniomaxillofacial region comprise a group of developmental, dysplastic, and neoplastic alterations. FOLs include ossifying fibromas (OF), cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC), fibrous dysplasia (FD), and cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). Evidence suggests that some FOL, especially FD and OF may have a risk of spontaneous malignant transformation. This report documents a rare case of malignant transformation of ossifying fibromas of the jaw and the probable cause for same. Although it is rare, the clinician should have a complete follow up to observe such changes among the patients having FOLs.

High-grade osteosarcoma arising in DCIA flap reconstruction after a prior resection of maxillar cemento-ossifying fibroma: A case report.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of the tooth-bearing jaws. Its concomitant occurrence with osteosarcoma, a malignant maxillofacial bone tumour, has never been described before. We present an uncommon case of a 43-year-old woman in whom a cemento-ossifying fibroma in the right maxilla was treated by resection and reconstruction using a deep circumflex iliac artery flap. During surgical prosthetic rehabilitation one-year post-operative, an osteosarcoma extending from the contralateral maxilla was coincidentally discovered in the deep circumflex iliac artery flap. The aim of this case report is to raise awareness on the extremely rare but possible simultaneous and independent occurrence of a cemento-ossifying fibroma and an osteosarcoma.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma resection combined with heterotopic canine autotransplantation: a case report.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a mesenchymal benign odontogenic tumor, which may lead to impacted or ectopic permanent teeth. Autotransplantation of teeth is a surgical process, in which a tooth is transplanted from one position to another in the same individual. This method can effectively restore the patient's mastication and aesthetics and is feasible in replacing missing teeth. This study reports a case of simultaneous COF resection combined with heterotopic canine autotransplantation to repair dentition defect, which effectively promotes the restoration of bone continuity and stability and achieves immediate and long-term aesthetic function requirements.

Planificación digital en tratamiento de fibroma osificante juvenil psamomatoide maxilar. Presentación de un caso / Digital planning in the treatment of juvenile maxillary psamomatoid ossifying fibroma. Presentation of a case

Los fibromas osificantes son neoplasias fibro-óseas benignas que afectan al esqueleto craneofacial y mandibular. El fibroma osificante psamomatoide juvenil es una variante rara del fibroma osificante, la que puede ser localmente agresiva y con una alta tasa de recidiva. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 15 años con antecedentes mórbidos de hipotiroidismo e hiperparatiroidismo, quien consulta por aumento de volumen y desplazamiento de dientes en maxilar derecho. El resultado histopatológico fue compatible con fibroma osificante psamomatoide juvenil. Dado el contexto hospitalario durante la pandemia de COVID-19, el tratamiento consistió en hemimaxilectomía con autoinjerto libre de cresta ilíaca mediante planificación digital. (AU)

Ossifying fibromas are benign fibro-osseous neoplasms that affect the craniofacial and mandibular skeleton. Juvenile psamomatoid ossifying fibroma is a rare variant of ossifying fibroma, which can be locally aggressive, and with a high recurrence rate. We present the clinical case of a 15-year-old patient with a morbid history of hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism, who consulted for increased volume and displacement of teeth in the right maxilla. The histopathological result was consistent with juvenile psamomatoid ossifying fibroma. Owing to the hospital situation during the COVID-19 the treatment consisted of hemimaxillectomy with iliac crest autograft using digital planning. (AU)

Surgical management of ossifying fibroma in the maxilla and its challenges associated with an immediate reconstructive approach with autogenous graft, an unusual case report / Manejo quirúrgico del fibroma osificante en el maxilar y sus desafíos asociados con un enfoque reconstructivo inmediato con el injerto autógeno, un informe de caso inusual

Ossifying Fibroma is a gingival mass in which calcified foci are found. It is a nodular lesion that involves the inserted and interdental gum. There is a predilection for the female sex and for the anterior region of the maxilla. This work aims to report the surgical management of a Ossifying Fibroma in the maxilla and the immediate reconstructive with autogenous graft. Female patient, in the third decade of life, presenting Ossifying Fibroma in the region between maxillary incisors and premolars.

[A painful periapical radiopacity in the lower jaw]. / Een pijnlijke periapicale radiopaciteit in de onderkaak.

A periapical radiopacity is frequently encountered by chance on a conventional periapical or panoramic x-ray. However, local pain and/or swelling in the area of a radiopacity is seldom seen. Here, we report on 2 cases of patients referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a painful periapical radiopacity in the lower jaw. The clinically and radiologically assumed diagnosis was a cementoblastoma, which was confirmed by histopathological examination following its surgical removal. A cementoblastoma is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor, mostly found in patients younger than 30. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the tumor, almost always together with the attached tooth. The recurrence rate after complete removal is approximately 12%. A cementoblastoma is clinically distinguished from other periapical radiopacities by local pain and sometimes swelling and radiologically by a relationship with the roots of a (pre)molar, a radiolucent rim surrounding the opacity, bone and/or root resorption and expansive growth.

Fibroma ossificante trabecular juvenil: um relato de caso / Juvenile ossifying fibroma: a case report

Objetivo: o fibroma ossificante trabecular juvenil (FOJT) é uma lesão fibro-óssea incomum, benigna, porém de comportamento agressivo. Ocorre, frequentemente, em crianças e adolescentes, com maior acometimento em maxila e mandíbula. O presente relato aborda os aspectos clínicos, imaginológicos, histopatológicos, imuno-histoquímicos e o tratamento de um caso de FOTJ. Além de discutir suas similaridades com o osteossarcoma de baixo grau e as alternativas para o seu diagnóstico. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo masculino, com 12 anos de idade, apresentando aumento de volume em mandíbula no lado esquerdo, perda de função mastigatória e de fala, com tempo de evolução de seis meses. Radiograficamente, a lesão apresentava aspecto unilocular, com limites definidos e de padrão misto. O tratamento consistiu em cirurgia de enucleação total da lesão, seguida de curetagem sob anestesia geral. A histopatologia e a ausência de marcação para MDM2 e CDK4 na imuno-histoquímica confirmaram o diagnóstico de FOTJ e excluíram o de osteossarcoma de baixo grau. No controle pós-operatório de 20 dias, o paciente relatou melhora da parestesia, da função mastigatória e da fala e ausência de dor. Não se observou recidiva no acompanhamento de 1 ano após a cirurgia. Considerações finais: a similaridade dos aspectos clínico, imaginológico e microscópico entre FOJT e osteossarcoma de baixo grau pressupõe o estudo imuno-histoquímico com os arcadores MDM2 e CDK4, minimizando equívocos no diagnóstico e orientando de forma mais eficiente o plano de tratamento adotado.(AU)

Objective: juvenile Trabecular Ossifying Fibromas (JTOF) are uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesions with a local aggressive behavior. They frequently occur in children and adolescents involving the jaw bones. This report addresses the clinical, imaging, histopathological, and immunohistochemical aspects and the treatment of a case of JTOF. In addition, it discusses similarities between JTOF and low-grade osteosarcomas and alternatives for their diagnosis. Case report: male patient, 12 years old, with a tumor in his left mandible, loss of masticatory function and speech, with a 6-month time course. Radiographically, the lesion had an unilocular aspect, with defined borders and a mixed image pattern. Treatment consisted surgical enucleation, followed by bone curettage, under general anesthesia. Histopathology presented fibrous stroma interspaced with bone trabeculae without signs of cellular malignancy. MDM2 and CDK4 markers in immunohistochemistry, confirmed the diagnosis of JTOF and excluded low-grade osteosarcoma. At the 20-day postoperative follow-up, the patient reported improvement in paresthesia, masticatory function and speech, and the absence of pain. Evaluation 1 year after surgery showed no signs of local recurrence. Final considerations: the similarity of clinical, imaging, and microscopic aspects between JTOF and low-grade osteosarcoma prompts an immunohistochemical study including MDM2 and CDK4 markers in order to improve final diagnosis and guide the treatment plan more efficiently.(AU)

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.

Manejo cirúrgico de sequestro ósseo pósexodontia em paciente portador de displasia cemento-óssea florida: relato de caso / Surgical management of post-exodontia bone sequestral in patients with displasia bone cement-florida: case report

A displasia cemento-óssea florida (DCOF) é uma condição não neoplásica, esclerosante limitada aos ossos maxilares, relacionada ao osso do processo alveolar e, na maioria dos casos envolvendo bilateralmente a mandíbula. É uma condição rara que se apresenta nos maxilares, de forma autolimitante, evoluindo de um estágio osteolítico para osteoblástico, com prevalência pelo gênero feminino, de meia idade a idosas, melanoderma. Dessa forma, o objetivo do trabalho é relatar o caso clínico de uma paciente portadora de displasia cemento-óssea florida apresentando osteomielite local após exodontia.Paciente de 57 anos de idade, melanoderma, compareceu ao ambulatório do Hospital Manoel Victorino (Salvador, BA) do serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial, referindo histórico de exodontia do dente 47 há aproximadamente 02 anos, sem cicatrização local e presença de supuração e odor fétido. Ao exame intrabucal notou- se a presença fístula na região do dente 47 com secreção purulenta espontânea e presença de tecido necrótico. Ao exame de imagem (radiografia panorâmica), foi observado presença de lesões radiopacas multifocais das áreas posteriores mandibulares. Foi submetida a cirurgia, sob anestesia geral, para curetagem de sequestro ósseo e fechamento primário do defeito por primeira intenção e acompanhamento. O objetivo do trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico de um sequestro ósseo mandibular em uma paciente com displasia cemento- óssea florida(AU)

Flowery cementum-bone dysplasia (DCOF) is a non-neoplastic, sclerosing condition limited to maxillary bones, related to the alveolar process bone and, in most cases, bilaterally involving the mandible. When infected can lead to suppuration and kidnapping, resulting in a picture of osteomyelitis. It is a rare condition that occurs in the jaws, in a selflimiting way, evolving from an osteolytic stage to osteoblastic, with prevalence by the female gender, from middle age to the elderly, melanoderma. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to report a diagnosed case of florid cemento-ousseous dysplasia, presenting local osteomyelitis after a extraction. Patient 57 years old, melanoderma, attended the outpatient clinic of the Hospital Manoel Victorino (Salvador, BA) of the Bucomaxillofacial surgery and traumatology department, referring to a history of the right mandible exodontia for approximately 2 years, without local scarring and presence of odor and suppuration fetid The intraoral examination revealed the presence of a fistula in the region distal to the tooth 47 with spontaneous purulent secretion and necrotic tissue. At the imaging examination (panoramic radiography), the presence of multifocal radiopaque lesions of the mandibular posterior areas was observed. She underwent surgery under general anesthesia for curettage of bone sequestration and primary closure of the defect by first intention and follow-up. The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of a mandibular bone sequestration in a patient with florid cementoosseous dysplasia(AU)

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)

Protection of Inferior Alveolar Neurovascular Bundle in Alveolar Bone Operation.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the protection of the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle in alveolar bone operation in conditions such as chronic osteomyelitis and cementoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study enrolled 7 cases, 4 with chronic osteomyelitis and 3 with cementoma with pain. Computed tomography scan and 3-dimensional reconstruction were performed for the diseases. Data were processed by ProPlan CMF 1.3 software. The edge of lesion was defined and the inferior alveolar nerve was marked. Template was designed to guide the osteotomy line. Piezosurgery was used for osteotomy, with the avoidance of nerve canal. Current perception threshold (CPT) was performed to evaluate the nerve function after operation. RESULTS: The CPT difference of the affected side before and after operation showed no statistically significant differences compared with that of the unaffected side (P = 0.0556). CONCLUSIONS: Digital template protects the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle with the aid of piezosurgery during alveolar bone resection, which obtained satisfying clinical results. As powerful assistive tools of functional surgery, digital template and piezosurgery achieve both the purposes of treatment and function.

The clinicopathologic features, radiological findings, treatment and prognosis are reported here in a 10-year-old girl who presented to us from Afghanistan. The tumor was managed surgically and the histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of cementoblastoma. There was no evidence of recurrence at one year of follow up.

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...

Cementoma of the calcaneus: a case report.

BACKGROUND: The cementoma is a common disease of the dental root apex, which generally occurs in the maxilla and the mandible, but the cementoma occurring in the long bone is rare. Moreover, the incidence of cementoma in the calcaneus is extremely infrequent. CASE PRESENTATION: The present study reports an unusual case of a 19-year-old girl, who complained of pain in the left heel. Subsequent radiographs and computed tomography (CT) were used in the diagnosis. The imaging features of the lesion included a radiopaque matrix and radiolucent tissue, particularly an arc-shaped fat band. An excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cementoma in the calcaneus. After the operation, the patient was followed up without recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Imaging examination plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of cementoma of the calcaneus.

Management strategy in patient with familial gigantiform cementoma: A case report and analysis of the literature.

RATIONALE: Familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC) is a rare benign autosomal dominant fibrocemento-osseous lesion generally limited to the facial bones, typically in the anterior portion of the mandible; it is often associated with abnormalities of the long bones and prepubertal pathologic fractures. Owing to the small number of such patients, a uniform treatment criterion has not been established. This paper presents a patient with FGC who was treated in our department, and offers a systematic review of the patients reported in the literature. Our aim was to explore the treatment strategy for patients with FGC. PATIENT CONCERNS: Our patient, a 13-year-old boy, presented with a painless enlargement of the mandible first noted 2 years earlier. It had grown rapidly over the preceding 8 months, affecting both his appearance and ability to chew. DIAGNOSIS: Based on the pathologic, clinical, and radiographic features, FGC was diagnosed. INTERVENTIONS: Mandibuloectomy was performed. The mandibular defect was immediately reconstructed with his right vascularized iliac crest flap. At the same time, a PubMed search was conducted to identify studies reporting on other patients with FGC. OUTCOMES: A 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) scan demonstrated appropriate height of the new alveolar bone. Follow-up results showed recovery of the patient's appearance and mandibular function. He was free of recurrence at 4-year follow-up. LESSONS: FGC is a rare benign fibrocemento-osseous lesion of the jaws that can cause severe facial deformity. Incomplete removal leads to more rapid growth of the residual lesion. Therefore, extensive resection is a suitable strategy to avoid recurrence. Defects of the facial bones found intraoperatively should be repaired with resort to an appropriate donor site. However, it is important to be aware that patients with FGC always have concomitant abnormalities of skeletal metabolism and structure, as well as a vulnerability to fractures of the long bones of the lower extremity. Therefore, the optimal management strategy should include a review of treatment options for other patients as reported in the literature. An optimal protocol can not only provide sufficient high-quality bone suitable for the reconstruction of bone defects, but also minimize complications and maximize quality of life.

Cementoblastoma en maxilar: reporte de caso / Maxillary cementoblastoma: report of a case

El cementoblastoma, también llamado cementoma verdadero, fue reconocido primeramente por Norberg en 1930. Este se encuentra dentro de los tumores derivados del ectomesenquima odontogénico y puede estar asociado con múltiples dientes. Se encuentran publicados en la literatura muchos casos de cementoblastoma, pero pocos reportan un seguimiento adecuado. Sólo Brannon y col. realizaron un seguimiento de 35 casos, encontraron algunas características clínicas como dolor, expansión y erosión de las corticales, comunes de los casos recidivantes, siendo la resección segmental o en bloque, un factor decisivo para la no recidiva, hemos tomado como referencia su trabajo por la representatividad y la manera que abordaron el tema. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo informar y evidenciar el manejo de un caso de cementoblastoma; describir una situación clínica de una paciente con un cementoblastoma benigno en maxilar superior izauierdo, asociado a un canino temporal y un primer molar, y presentar histopatología revisión de la literatura, tratamiento quirúrgico, rehabilitación y seguimiento a través de los años en los cuales la paciente no presentó recidiva.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma of mandible mimicking complex composite odontome.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a fibro-osseous lesion or non-odontogenic tumour that affects craniofacial bones. These lesions are included in the spectrum of fibro-osseous lesions arising from periodontal ligament cells, which can deposit combination of cementum and bone surrounded by fibrous tissue. It clinically, macroscopically and radiologically resembles complex composite odontome and can be differentiated only on the basis of histopathology. They usually occur solitarily as a painless and expansile spherical or ovoid jawbone mass that may displace the roots of adjacent teeth. They predominantly occur in females in third and fourth decades of life. We present a case report of a 20-year-old man, with a mildly painful swelling in the mandible which was successfully treated with enucleation and diagnosed as COF. Its resemblance to complex composite odontome and unique surgical approach are highlighted in this paper.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma of the jaw.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign growth, considered to originate from the periodontal ligament. It is often encapsulated and predominantly located in the mandible, and presents as a slow-growing lesion, but may cause deformity if left untreated. The definitive diagnosis of these lesions requires integration of its clinical, radiological and histological features. We present a case of cemento-ossifying fibroma in relation to the lower left one-third of the face, and its management.
