Abstract

Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma (JOF)is an fibro-osseous lesion which is further classified as Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) and Juvenile Trabecular Ossifying Fibroma (JTOF). Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma (JPOF) has been distinguished because of its location, clinical behaviour, and age of occurrence. Itis generally seen in younger age group and occurs more commonly in paranasal sinuses, orbits, and fronto-ethmoidal complex. The lesion has showed a potential toproliferate, invade and destroy tissues extensively. It is also important to note thatthis lesion has a very strong tendency to reoccur. Complete excision of the lesion is the treatment of choice and itcan becurative. In this case paper we aredescribing anunusual case ofJPOF involving theposterior mandible and clinically presenting asasoft tissue overgrowth.
