Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma in paranasal sinuses: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) is a rare, benign type of ossifying fibroma. JPOFs predominantly present as rapidly growing masses with a high recurrence rate. We report a 40-year-old male patient who suffered from a large tumor with multiple invasions into the paranasal sinuses. Total excision was performed, and significant relief of clinical symptoms was recorded after 4 months of follow-up. Multi-departmental management involving radiologists, neurology surgeons, craniofacial surgeons, pathologists, and otolaryngologists is vital for JPOF treatment. First-line treatment options include total or partial resection, depending on the patient's condition.
