Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is an uncommon, benign, bone-forming neoplasm seen in the craniofacial bones. It is distinguished from other fibro-osseous lesions primarily by its age at onset, clinical presentation, and potential aggressive behavior. Occasionally JOF may grow aggressively and extend to involve the orbits and skull base, resulting in serious cosmetic and functional problems. A radical surgery is not advisable in a pediatric age group. We describe a case of JOF of the maxilla removed by sublabial approach conservatively, but completely without compromising the aesthetic looks of the young patient.
青少年骨化性纤维瘤（JOF）是一种罕见的、良性的、发生于颅面骨的成骨性肿瘤。它与其他纤维-骨病变的主要区别在于发病年龄、临床表现和潜在的侵袭性。JOF偶尔可能呈侵袭性生长并累及眼眶和颅底，导致严重的美容和功能问题。对于儿童年龄组，不建议进行根治性手术。我们描述了一例通过唇下入路保守但完整切除上颌骨JOF的病例，且未影响年轻患者的美观。
