Orbital ossifying fibroma: A case report.

CLINICAL CASE: The case concerns a 34 year-old man, who presented with pain in the medial canthus in his left eye, with proptosis and diplopia. The examination showed exophthalmus and a palpable mass at the inner canthus. The computed tomography revealed a lesion, which was confirmed by biopsy to be a ossifying fibroma. DISCUSSION: Ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that mostly affects the jaw. Clinical presentation and complications vary according to its location. Clinical examination, imaging, and histopathology are essential for definitive diagnosis. Surgical treatment is multidisciplinary and long-term follow up is needed.
