Abstract
Ossifying fibroma is benign, slowly expansile, painless, well defined fibro-osseous tumour composed of calcified products such as bone, cementum, or both [1]. We opted for a novel approach for the management of ossifying fibroma of maxillary region through scarless midfacial degloving approach with iliac bone graft reconstruction. A 20 years old young female presented with left sided facial swelling involving anterior wall of maxilla and lifting the ala of nose. CT and FNAC suggested a benign lesion. Surgery was performed to remove the tumour completely and managed with scarless midfacial degloving approach with iliac bone graft reconstruction. The iliac crest free flap is an optimal method for maxillary defect reconstruction. The main advantages of the flap are the large amount of bone provided, its height, and the possibility of including the internal oblique muscle [2].
