  • Title: [Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma. Apropos a case].
    Author: Aguilar F, Farré J, Larrosa F, Blanch JL.

    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old woman had a left palatal tumor diagnosed as psammomatoid ossifying fibroma. This tumor is a rare subtype of benign fibro-osseous craniofacial lesion that occurs mainly in women, younger age groups, and the sinonasal tract. It has distinctive histomorphological features. The tumor is slow-growing but tends to be locally aggressive and to destroy adjacent anatomic structures. Surgical excision with broad margins is the treatment of choice.
