Abstract
Fibro osseous lesions are benign mesenchymal skeletal tumours in which mineralized tissue, blood vessels and giant cells, in varied proportions replace normal bone. Included in this group are fibrous dysplasia (FD), cherubism, ossifying fibroma and osteoblastoma. Although fibro osseous lesions have similar histologic and radiographic features, they may exhibit a wide range of biological behaviours. Because the histologic appearance does not predict the rate of growth or prognosis, treatment is based on the clinical and biologic behaviour of the tumour. The term “Juvenile active ossifying fibroma”(JAOF) has been given to a less common, more aggressive variant of the central ossifying fibroma which occurs primarily in children and young adults. This lesion has been described in literature under variety of terms like “aggressive psammomatoid ossifying fibroma” or “juvenile ossifying fibroma”. We are presenting a case of Juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma in a 17 years old girl who reported to our institute.
