Ossifying fibroma, a benign tumor, can affect young patients and present with facial asymmetry. Early diagnosis is crucial due to its potential for aggressive growth and cancer-like radiographic appearance.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion originating from connective tissue.
  • It commonly affects children and young adults, often presenting asymptomatically.
  • While typically slow-growing, it can exhibit aggressive behavior and facial deformity.

Observation:

  • The lesion most frequently occurs in the mandible but can involve both jaws.
  • Early clinical signs include facial asymmetry and tooth migration.
  • Radiographically, it can mimic malignant tumors, necessitating careful diagnosis.

Findings:

  • This case report details a massive mandibular ossifying fibroma in a nine-year-old patient.
  • The tumor presented with significant swelling and facial asymmetry.

  • Diagnostic challenges arise from its aggressive appearance on imaging.

    • Implications:

    • Pediatricians and dentists must maintain high awareness of ossifying fibroma, especially with facial asymmetry.
    • Accurate diagnosis is vital to differentiate from malignant conditions.
    • Prompt and appropriate management is essential for favorable outcomes in pediatric patients.
