Abstract:
Maxillofacial fibro-osseous lesions comprise a group of face and jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of bone by a benign connective-tissue matrix with varying amount of mineralized substances. Fibro-osseous lesions of the maxilla are not an uncommon tumor. Majority of the lesions with fibrous and osseous components include ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, cemento-ossifying fibroma, and cementifying fibroma. We present a case of 15-year-old female with huge fibroosseous lesion which was treated with total maxillectomy via a Weber-Ferguson approach. Histopathology established that fibroosseous lesion as an ossifying fibroma.
