Orbital ossifying fibroma

Ossifying fibroma is an acquired fibrous osteoma that often affects the orbital bone. It occurs in the craniofacial bone and occurs in the skull, mostly in the frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones. It also occurs in the temporal bone. Facial bones are more common in the maxilla, and the orbits are often involved. The histopathological feature is that the thin bone spurs are surrounded by bone and osteoblasts in the fibrous tissue matrix, and osteoblasts are visible. Because it occurs in young people, it is also called juvenile ossifying fibroma.
