Abstract
Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a rare fibro-osseous lesion in the practice of otolaryngology. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is frequently seen in craniofacial bones. They are of two types, central and peripheral. Although these lesions can be seen at any age, they are more often seen in women in the second to fourth decade of life. Peripheral ossifying fibromas are generally less than 2 cm, painless, well-demarcated, slowly-growing lesions with pedunculated or sessile. Approximately 60% of it occurs in the anterior part of the maxillary bone. The diagnosis is made clinically, radiologically and histopathologically. Surgical excision should be performed to prevent recurrence and patients should be followed up for a long time. In this study, the clinical, radiological and surgical characteristics of a 33-year-old patient with peripheral ossifying fibroma in the maxillary sinus anterior wall were discussed in the light of the literature.
