“…Since the first case of ossifying fibroma was reported in 1872, there was a period of time when ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia of bone were considered to be the same disease (1). Following a long period of observation and study, they are now considered to be two different diseases.…”

Ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinus, and is easily misdiagnosed. In the present study, we report the clinical data in the case of a 46-year-old female patient, treated due to 5-day forehead swelling accompanied by dizziness. CT examination revealed dilation of the right frontal sinus, bone wall integration, dense masses in the cavity, multiple punctate calcification foci internally and no nasal obstruction, nasal mucus or epistaxis. After hospitalization, a right frontal sinus fenestration and tumor resection plus nasofrontal duct reconstruction combined with nasal endoscopic frontal recess open surgery was conducted under general anesthesia. Following the tumor resection, the frontal sinus bone lamella was reset and fixed with a titanium bone fixation set. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was of ossifying fibroma. At the postoperative 5-year follow-up there was no tumor recurrence and nasal endoscopy revealed an unobstructed nasofrontal duct opening.

Background The purpose of this work was to perform a systematic review regarding ossifying fibroma and its multiple variants of the paranasal sinuses, and to identify any clinical differences between the multiple variants. A search of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed) database was performed for the non–Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) search term “ossifying fibroma.” The bibliographies of the retrieved manuscripts were searched to identify additional potentially relevant articles. Finally, textbooks of head and neck pathology were searched to identify peer‐reviewed literature that addresses the histopathology of ossifying fibroma and its variants. Abstracts were screened by 2 of the authors to identify reports of ossifying fibroma lesions (and its variants) that involved the paranasal sinuses. Extracted data from case reports or case series included the clinical presentation, age, gender, site of involvement, surgical approach, treatment outcome, follow‐up period, and recurrence rate. Information derived from cases is summarized in tables, and simple descriptive statistics were applied to the data. A total of 137 distinct patients were identified in 103 reports. Extracted data did not show any appreciable difference in clinical presentation or outcomes. Data on recurrence of these lesions was often limited by a lack of follow‐up. Although differentiation between the subtypes of ossifying fibroma can be made histologically, and a diverse nomenclature exists, there does not appear to be any overriding clinical significance to the histopathologic differentiation of OF variants.

A case of a rare subtype of midfacial ossifying fibroma in a 5-year old child is presented. Fibro-osseous lesions represent a variety of bone proliferations each characterised by different morphological patterns of osteoid production. Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is characterised histologically by numerous small round ossicles resembling psammoma bodies and is a locally invasive lesion of facial and cranial bones. The histopathology is described. The surgical treatment includes complete resection of the tumour as well as involved bones by means of midfacial degloving. Two years after surgical treatment the child is free from symptoms and tumour recurrence.
