Abstract
Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibromais a rare fibro-osseous tumor seen in children and adolescentand mostly arising from the cranio-facial bone.We report a case of 18-year-old boy who presented with diplopiaand progressive right fronto-orbital swelling. On plain radiograph and CT, it was diagnosed as fibrous dysplasiaand mucocele as differential diagnosis. The tumor was resected and histopathological examination showed psammomatoid features. Therefore, the diagnosis of Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma must be based on both radiological and histopathological findings.
Highlights
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a benign fibro-osseous tumor commonly seen in young patient in cranio-facial region
We present a case of Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) involving the fronto-ethmoid complex mimicking Fibrous Dysplasia (FD)
On the basis of clinical scenario and radiological features of benign nature and few areas of ground glass matrix within, we considered fibrous dysplasiaas possible diagnosis with mucocele of frontal sinus as close differential diagnosis
Summary
Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a benign fibro-osseous tumor commonly seen in young patient in cranio-facial region. Plain radiograph showed an expansile lytic lesion of size 5×4 cm involving right frontal and ethmoidal sinuses (Fig 1).
