Management of Giant Craniofacial Ossifying Fibroma – Case Series Report.
Moshy, J.
Abstract
Although ossifying fibroma (OF) is a slow growing neoplasm, some lesions may behave
aggressively reaching massive proportions that may demand special treatment. OF of the head and
neck is most commonly described in the mandible and maxilla. A few isolated reports in the
literature exhibit the rare existence of this lesion in the nasal bone, orbit, ethmoid sinus, sphenoid
sinus, frontal sinus, temporal bone, and intracranial region. Three cases of massive OF of the
midface with intracranial extension are reported. The management protocol of these lesions is
presented and discussed.
