    Author: Cicciù M, Herford AS, Juodžbalys G, Cicciù D.

    Abstract:
    Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma may be considered a fibro-osseous tumor which usually occurs in young children and arises in craniofacial bones, most commonly seen in the maxilla. This kind of lesion usually occurs in young patients and because of its aggrssive nature, clinicians should try to recognize it as soon as possible in order to avoid future functional and aesthetics problems. Moreover, untreated cases over a long period may result in large bone defects during the surgical removal of the lesion. Here reported is a case of a six-year-old girl who developed a rare aggressive fibroma localized in the right upper jaw. The clinical, radiographic and histopathologic findings, plus differential diagnoses of the case and treatement options are also presented.
