ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (POF) is a rare craniofacial neoplasm, primarily affecting the maxillofacial region, and typically observed in adolescents and young adults. This case report presents a unique occurrence of POF in a 50-year-old male, defying the conventional age range and exhibiting an unusual anatomical location within the frontal sinus. CASE A 50-year-old male with a prior history of cecal adenocarcinoma and colectomy presented with left eye proptosis and new-onset headaches. Imaging revealed a well-defined calcified mass in the left frontal sinus, leading to a diagnosis of POF. Open surgical resection was performed to remove the tumor, and histopathological evaluation confirmed its diagnosis as psammomatoid ossifying fibroma. The patient exhibited no postoperative complications or signs of recurrence.CONCLUSION:
This case underscores the diverse clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges associated with POF, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary collaboration. Further research is needed to explore the genetic underpinnings and optimal management strategies for this intriguing condition.Palabras clave
