Abstract:
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare, benign, bone forming lesion of children and adolescents. When sited in the jaws, it is considered as an aggressive form of ossifying fibroma presenting with a wide range of clinical symptoms and a high incidence of recurrence. Although early detection and management is thought to eradicate it completely. The present case report focuses on the surgical yet conservative management of JOF in a 5 years old boy who reported with a year-long, progressive swelling on the left side of his face. The tumour was excised with minimal surgical intervention into a clearly defined and lobulated single mass using maxillary vestibular incision under general anaesthesia. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no signs of recurrence were found in the next 6 months follow-up period.
