Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma associated with central giant cell granuloma and aneurysmal bone cyst like changes - A triple hybrid tumour? Or a pathologic sequelae?

Hybrid tumours encompass lesions containing two or more pathologic entities. The pathogenesis of these lesions is barely understood and described. Juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) is a benign but locally aggressive fibro-osseous neoplasm commonly affecting the maxilla of the adolescent age group. Hybrid lesions of JTOF have been reported along with central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) and traumatic bone cyst, respectively. However, the co-occurrence of JTOF with CGCG and ABC in a single patient has not yet been reported in the literature, hence, making ours the first case report of this kind. Theories describing the pathogenesis of this rare phenomenon have also been proposed and elaborated.
