Summary

Cementifying ossifying fibroma is a benign bone tumor that can aggressively affect young patients and recur. This case highlights a frontal sinus tumor presenting with proptosis in an adult male.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
  • Bone Tumors
  • Head and Neck Neoplasms

Background:

  • Cementifying ossifying fibroma (COF) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous tumor originating from multipotent periodontal ligament cells.
  • Characterized by cementum production, it can exhibit aggressive behavior, particularly in younger individuals, with a high recurrence rate.
  • Microscopic identification relies on the presence of cementicles within the lesion.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of COF affecting the frontal sinus.
  • The patient, a 39-year-old male, presented with proptosis, an eye-protruding symptom.

Findings:

  • The frontal sinus COF in this adult patient demonstrated an unusual presentation.
  • The presence of cementicles confirmed the diagnosis microscopically.
  • The lesion's location and associated symptom of proptosis are notable.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of COF presentation beyond typical age groups and locations.
  • It underscores the importance of considering COF in the differential diagnosis of frontal sinus masses, even in adults.
  • Further research into the variable behavior and presentation of COF is warranted.
