Trabecular variant: A rare entity of Juvenile ossifying fibroma of the mandible
One of the rarest entities of fibro-osseous lesions that arise within the craniofacial bones is Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF). It is an intraosseous expansile lesion of the jaw that imitate odontogenic lesions. WHO has described two distinct histopathological variants of JOF; trabecular and psamm...

| Summary: | One of the rarest entities of fibro-osseous lesions that arise within the craniofacial bones is Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF). It is an intraosseous expansile lesion of the jaw that imitate odontogenic lesions. WHO has described two distinct histopathological variants of JOF; trabecular and psammomatoid. Histologically, they are characterized by the presence of fibrous connective tissue stroma along with osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells. Clinical, characteristics show an early age of onset, typical histological patterns, high rate of aggressive behavior and recurrence. This article presents a rare clinical case of the trabecular variant of JOF, its clinical, radiological, histological, and treatment aspects. |
