Juvenile Psammomatoid Cemeto-ossifying Fibroma of Mandible: a Diagnostic dilemma.

Psammomatoid Juvenile ossifying fibroma (PsJOF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous lesion characterised to grow to unusually large size very rapidly. Its usual presentation is in younger age group mostly children and predominately involving the Sino-Naso-Orbital region. Its aggressive nature gimmicks a malignant lesion but it is rather a benign lesion with a higher recurrence rate than the conventional ossifying fibroma but lacking metastatic potential. The high recurrence rate makes it essential that the lesion is not reconstructed immediately and thorough monitoring in the follow-up period. Lesion of such clinical importance needs to be diagnosed preoperatively to provide a better and radical surgical treatment option, but the variability in its presentation as seen in this case makes it even harder to diagnose. We aim to draw attention to the rare phenomena that PsJOF presents to help readers broaden their purview in diagnosis and thereby manage them accordingly.
