Central odontogenic fibroma: retrospective study of 8 clinical cases
2010
Introduction and Objectives: The central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a benign odontogenic tumour derived from the dental mesenchymal tissues. It is a rare tumour and only 70 cases of it have been published. Bearing in mind the rareness of the tumour, 8 new cases of central odontogenic fibroma have been found by analyzing the clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics of COF. Patients and Method: A retrospective study was carried out on 3011 biopsies in the Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Dental Clinic of Barcelona University between January 1995 and March 2008. 85 odontogenic tumours were diagnosed of which 8 were central odontogenic fibroma. The radiolog…
Tuberous sclerosis complex with oral manifestations: A case report and literature review
2011
Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome produced by a number of genetic mutations. The disease is characterized by the development of benign tumors affecting different body systems. The most common oral manifestations of TSC are fibromas, gingival hyperplasia and enamel hypoplasia. Clinical Case: A 35-year-old woman diagnosed with TSC presented with a reactive fibroma of considerable size and rapid growth in the region of the right lower third molar. Discussion: In the present case the association of TSC with dental malpositioning gave rise to a rapidly evolving reactive fibroma of considerable diameter. Few similar cases can be found in the literature. P…
Fibroma osificante maxilar: presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura
2004
Existe un conjunto de procesos que han sido denominados genéricamente lesiones fibroóseas benignas, entre las que se encuentran la displasia fibrosa, la osteomielitis esclerosante y el fibroma osificante o cementificante. Todos estos procesos tienen un estroma fibroblástico vascular y producen una matriz calcificada que comprende desde el hueso hasta el cemento. El fibroma osificante se caracteriza por presentar un crecimiento y una tumefacción deformante de evolución lenta que generalmente aparece en la mandíbula y puede producir desplazamiento dentario precoz. Desde el punto de vista radiológico aparece generalmente como un área radiotransparente unilocular bien definida y demarcada o com…
Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillas: analysis of 11 cases
2008
Introduction: A study is made of the principal characteristics of the oral lesions biopsied in our Service of Oral Surgery and histologically diagnosed as corresponding to fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillas. Patients and methods: A retrospective review was made of all the biopsies made in a Service of Oral Surgery between 1996 and 2003. The reason for consultation was analyzed, along with patient age, sex, clinical and radiological characteristics, tentative diagnosis, histological diagnosis and treatment provided. Results: A total of 1238 biopsies were performed during the study period. Of these, only 11 corresponded to benign fibro-osseous lesions (7 women and 4 men). The mean patient …
