Abstract

Ossifying fibromas are uncommon benign lesion with aggressive local growth. These tumors thought to originate from the periodontal ligament. WHO 2005 classified juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) into juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma and juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma. These tumors must be treated by radical excision to prevent recurrence. We report a case of JOF of psammomatoid pattern in a 12 year old boy, the treatment was radical en bloc resection.
