Abstract
CONTRERAS-AEDO, L; HIDALGO-RIVAS, A; VENEGAS-ROJAS, B and CELIS-CONTRERAS, C. Clinic, epidemiology and imagenology of the ossifying fibroma and cemento ossifying fibroma: a review of cases reported in the literature. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.3, pp.122-135. Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2340-3152. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852022000300006.
Introduction:
Ossifying fibroma (OF) and cemento ossifying fibroma (COF) are different pathologies, which until 2017 where considered as one. To date, the features of OF y COF have not been compared. This aim of this review was to analyze clinical, epidemiological and imaging features of OF and COF in published case reports.
Materials and methods:
A search of clinical cases of OF and COF published since 2015 was performed on PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, using the search strategy ("Ossifying Fibroma" OR "Cemento Ossifying Fibroma") AND (Craniofacial OR Jaws). The cases had to haveenough clinical, imaging and histological information to confirm their clinical diagnosis, histological pattern and compare their features.
Review:
32 articles were included, with 32 cases and 34 lesions, being 28 OF and 6 COF. OF and COF differ by age and location: while COF occur in adult ages, exclusively in the jaws and in relation to dental tissues, OF occur mainly in children and young people, and in any bone. OF and COF have the same imaging characteristics: they are unilocular or multilocular lesions, with different degrees of radiodensity, defined limits and a peripheral radiolucent area. However, cases of trabecular OF may not present this peripheral radiolucent area.
Conclusions:
OF and COF are similar pathologies clinically and epidemiologically, with the same imaging characteristics. So, establishing histological differences is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
