Abstract

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a benign but potentially aggressive fibro-osseous lesion involving craniofacial bones. Children and young adults are commonly affected. Young adults and children are frequently affected. JOF is distinguished from the adult variant, based on age, site, clinical behaviour, and microscopic appearance. Its aggressive nature and high recurrence rate, demand early detection and complete surgical excision. In this article, we'll discuss two cases, that presented with maxillary and mandibular swellings and were later identified as trabecular variants of juvenile ossifying fibroma

Keywords : Juvenile ossifying fibroma; Maxilla; Mandible; Fibro-osseous lesion.
