Fibroma ossificante juvenil em mandíbula: relato de caso

Abstract

Fibro osseous lesions are pathological processes commonly found in cranial and facial bones. The real ossifying fibroma is a rare entity, with many previously reported cases being recognized today as cemento-ossifiying dysplasia. The juvenile ossifying fibroma is a variant of ossifying fibroma, with the peculiar characteristics rapid growth, between 5-15 years, and the aggressive clinical behavior. This paper reports a case of a young female patient (15 years) with diagnosis of juvenile ossifying fibroma in the posterior mandible, treated with bloc resection and immediate reconstruction with bone graft non vascularized of iliac crest. The patient is being followed up, without evidence of recurrence. The juvenile ossifying fibroma presenting aggressive clinical behavior deserves special attention in their treatment, where growth is fast and destructive a more aggressive approach is needed.
