Abstract
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects young individuals and presents an aggressive clinical behavior and high rates of recurrence. This paper aims to report 7 cases diagnosed as JOF in a reference center, correlating them with clinical-pathologic aspects in the literature. We found 7 cases diagnosed as JOF with the age of patients ranging from 11 to 39 years. The mandible was the most common location, and in 3 cases pain symptoms were reported. Regarding the histopathologic findings, the majority of cases had a well-cellular pattern, and the trabecular subtype was the most commonly found. It was observed that in 3 cases that had relapsed, 2 had conservative treatment. In view of this, it is important to know the clinical-pathologic aspects of this lesion to perform a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment to reduce the high recurrence rate of this lesion.
