“…However, in young patients the detrimental effects of radiation on growth and the increased risk of malignancy make this an unappealing treatment option in most instances. 8 • Desmoplastic fibromas have a nonspecific radiological appearance; diagnosis is only established on histopathological examination • Treatment consists of wide excision of the lesion; if excision is adequate, the lesion is usually curable • In the presented case, earlier diagnosis and resection would have avoided delays in resolving the child's disabling pain, emphasising the importance of early referral of unusual cases to tertiary centres…”

“…Diagnosis is only established by histological examination. 8 Computed tomography and MRI are useful to delineate the lesion and its relationship to adjacent structures. On MRI, desmoplastic fibromas display a heterogeneous appearance; unenhanced T1-weighted images show nonspecific low signal intensity, while T2-weighted images show intermediate to high signal intensity with areas of low intensity.…”

“…17 Moreover, the desmoplastic fibroma lesions are usually painless, slowgrowing and asymptomatic swellings. 12,18 Furthermore, facial asymmetry, tooth displacement, root divergence, pain, trismus and infections are other symptoms. 19 Meanwhile, from the radiology examination of desmoplastic fibroma affecting the jaws, the result showed similar features with other lesions.…”

Desmoplastic Fibroma and Cemento Ossifying Fibroma of The Anterior Maxilla: A Rare Case Report

2021

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.
