Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is histological variant of juvenile ossifying fibroma, a fibro-osseous tumor of craniofacial bones with benign but potentially aggressive nature. Complete excision of tumor is essential as it is associated with very high recurrence rate. We have reported here a case of juvenile ossifying fibroma- a psammomatoid variety present in right maxilla in a 13-year old male child. Complete excision of tumor was done through intra-oral approach with the 2.5 years of follow up shows no recurrence.
Key message: Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is fibro-osseous tumor of craniofacial bones with benign but potentially aggressive nature. Complete excision of tumor is essential as it is associated with very high recurrence rate.
