Sublabial approach to sinonasal juvenile ossifying fibroma

Abstract

Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare, unusual fibro-osseous benign tumor of the craniofacial region. It is a progressively growing tumor and has to be removed completely to prevent recurrence. A radical surgery is not advisable in a pediatric patient. Here we describe the sublabial approach for excision of this tumor that allows the complete removal of the tumor without compromising with the aesthetic looks of the patient.
