This brief clinical study presents a case of a 2-year-old girl with a submandibular mass that caused erosion of the inferior border of the mandible. An incisional biopsy finding revealed juvenile fibromatosis, that is, a group of fibrous proliferations that have biologic behavior and histopathologic pattern intermediate between those of benign fibrous lesions and fibrosarcoma. These lesions should be treated through wide surgical excision, and patients should be kept under regular follow-up because of their high recurrence rate.

Objective: To assess the sclerostin, β-catenin, and tryptase expression in fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaws.
Subjects And Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for these proteins on FOL and non-lesional bone. The sclerostin-positive cells were scored from 0 (no expression) to 3 (high expression).

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous neoplasm developing mostly in maxillo-facial bones. OF is divided in cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) and psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (PSOF). The aim of this systematic review was to synthetize the existing literature on OF, investigating the clinical and radiological parameters related to the different forms of the disease, and to compare the treatment modalities according to their associated recurrence rate.

Trabecular juvenile ossifying fibroma (TrJOF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion that predominantly affects children and adolescents. The lesion is locally aggressive, has a high recurrence rate, and is often misdiagnosed due to its clinical and radiographic similarities to other lesions. A seven-year-old female presented with a history of swelling and pain on the right side of her face for the last month.

Pachydermodactyly, an uncommon variant of digital fibromatosis, predominantly affects young men and results in fibrous swelling on the sides of the proximal interphalangeal joints. It is generally considered benign and asymptomatic, requiring only regular follow-up. Nevertheless, the absence of established diagnostic criteria has led to misdiagnoses, prompting the administration of unnecessary medications.
