OBJECTIVE: To discuss the multidisciplinary management of psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (POF) of the orbit and to clarify the clinicopathologic terminology. DESIGN: The authors present a cohort of cases of POF involving the frontal and ethmoid sinuses and the orbit and discuss the nomenclature and literature. PARTICIPANTS: Three patients with POF and their treatment are discussed. INTERVENTION: Patients were worked up and treated by a multidisciplinary team using imaging studies and histopathologic analysis. Reconstruction, if necessary, was carried out at the time of excision or in a second-stage procedure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: In each case, the lesion was completely excised and has not recurred. RESULTS: The diagnosis of POF was made in each case, and the patient underwent successful resection of the tumor. CONCLUSION: The authors' experience suggests that a multidisciplinary approach, including a radiologist, pathologist, neurosurgeon, otolaryngologist, craniofacial surgeon, and orbital specialist, may be useful in the evaluation and management of these lesions.
