Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst of frontal sinus.

INTRODUCTION

Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (POF) is a rare, slowly progressive tumor of the extragnathic craniofacial bones, with a tendency toward locally aggressive behavior.

CASE REPORT: The pathognomonic histologic feature is the presence of spherical ossicles, which are similar to psammoma bodies.

DISCUSSION: Fibro-osseous lesions composed of POF and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the frontal sinus in a 12-year-old boy is reported, followed by a literature review.

CONCLUSION

To our knowledge, this is the second case of a fibro-osseous lesion composed of ossifying fibroma with reactive ABC to be reported in the literature.
