Abstract:
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a fibro-osseous neoplasm, rare in occurrence and usually seen in young children. JOF is locally aggressive spreads quickly and is defined as a variant of ossifying fibroma. There are two types of ossifying fibroma depending on histopathology and classified as Psammomatoid juvenile ossifying fibroma (PJOF), Trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TJOF). Both the types affect skull bones with the trabecular type being more common in the jaws- maxillofacial region and the psammomatoid type being more common in the paranasal sinuses, ethmoid sinuses- craniofacial region. Complete excision is mandatory because JOF's have an extremely high rate of recurrence. A rare case of PJOF involving right maxilla sparing paranasal sinuses in a 15-year-old male patient with clinical, radiographic and histopathological features is discussed.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
