Recurrent ossifying fibroma of the orbit – A case report
Abstract
Rationale: Ossifying fibromas are mainly found in the jaws and are rare in other parts of the cranium. Orbital involvement is relatively rare. Patient Details: A case of an otherwise healthy 38-year-old overseas patient with gradual onset of a large growth in the right ocular area involving adjacent bone and operated twice over the last eight years is being presented. The lesion is involving the entire medial wall. Treatment: Considering the complex loco-regional anatomy as well as the restriction of overseas residence, preservation of a thin margin of bone was performed. Take-Away Lessons: The need for repeat radiological surveillance was stressed.
