  • Title: Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) of Maxilla-a Rare Entity.
    Author: Patigaroo SA.
    Journal: J Maxillofac Oral Surg; 2011 Jun; 10(2):155-8. PubMed ID: 22654369.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (JOF) is an uncommon fibro-osseous lesion affecting the facial bones. Although a benign entity, JOF is known to be locally aggressive and has a high tendency to recur. Two distinctive microscopic patterns have been described; a trabecular variant and a Psammomatoid variant. The latter variant is predominantly a craniofacial lesion and occurs rarely in the jaws. We report a rare case of Psammomatoid Juvenile ossifying fibroma that occurred in maxilla of a 20 year old female patient.
