A Rare Case of Ossifying Fasciitis at the Lower Boarder of the Mandible in a 19-Months-Old Child

Abstract

Rahaf Alhabbab*

Ossifying fasciitis is a very rare benign tumor of reactive character that can mimic malignant lesions, especially osteosarcoma. We report a
case of a 19-months-old boy, who experienced a rapidly growing hard painless swelling at the right side of the mandible. Resection of the
mass, and a detailed correlation with a clinicopathological and radiological analysis led to the final diagnosis of ossifying fasciitis of the
submandibular region at the lower boarder of the mandible.
