Abstract

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a locally aggressive, benign fibro-osseous tumor. It usually occurs in young children and arises in the maxillofacial region. It has a high recurrence rate. This pathology would be diagnosed and treated as early as possible because of its rapidly progressive and osteolytic nature which may complicate the surgical removal if left untreated over a long period. The present case is diagnosed as Juvenile ossifying fibroma involving the maxilla causing facial deformity, proptosis, and nasal obstruction in a 15-year-old female child.
