Ossifying fibroid is a tumor proliferation at the expense of maxillary bones belonging to the complex group of non-odontogenic tumors, having membranous ossification. It accounts for 2.5% of bone tumors and 7% of benign tumors of the head and neck. The objective was to report our diagnostiwc and therapeutic experience through a clinical observation case and literature review. It is a patient of a 7-year-old boy, in the ENT department of the Gabriel Toure University Hospital for painful swelling of the right hemiface associated with a noticeable asymmetry of the face evolving for 04 years. Physical examination revealed a swelling of the right hemiface, extending from the ipsilateral jugal and zygomatic region to the suborbital region, of hard consistency, fixed in relation to the superficial planes and deep, not hot measuring 10 cm over its large diameter, painful with a bulge of the hard ipsilateral palate and a reduction in the lumen of the right nasal cavity. Maxillofacial CT showed a very limited bone density mass that did not take the contrast medium. The histopathological examination after right partial maxillectomy under GA was in favor of FO. Postoperative follow-up was favorable after 04 years of follow-up without recurrence.

The delay in consultation and the attribution of these tumors to mystical factors increase their severity, thus making their management difficult and clouding the prognosis. This justifies our clinical presentation.
Figure 1. Anterior view of the face preoperatively showing a right jugal swelling.
This is a 7-year-old male patient residing in Bougouni, who was referred to the CSREF of Bougouni for painful swelling of the right hemiface associated with a significant asymmetry of the face that has been evolving for 4 years. The patient is in good general health and no medical history is reported. Examination of the cervicofacial skin reveals: a swelling of the right hemiface, extending from the ipsilateral jugal and zygomatic region to the suborbital region with notable asymmetry of the face, of hard consistency, fixed in relation to the superficial planes and deep, not hot measuring 10 cm on its large diameter, not painful on palpation. The skin in look healthy. On examination of the oral cavity and the oropharynx, a bulge of the hard palate was noted ipsilateral. On rhinoscopy, there was a reduction in the lumen of the right nasal cavity. The rest of the physical examination was normal.
Figure 3. Coronal section CT image showing the hyperdense mass in the maxillary sinus with mass effect on the ipsilateral nasal cavity.
On maxillofacial computed tomography, we have demonstrated a mass of well-limited bone density of the anterolateral bone wall of the right maxillary sinus, with regular contours, extending to the ipsilateral orbital floor and not taking the contrast medium. The patient's blood operability and chest X-ray tests returned normal.
A right partial maxillectomy was performed under general anesthesia after a gingivo-vestibular incision extended to the right corner of the lip for about 5 cm. There was no reconstruction of the right jaw by autologous grafts, nor extraction of the dental alveoli.
The histopathological examination of the operative specimen revealed a benign tumor lesion of a fibroosseous nature; bone structures of variable size observed within a fairly high cellularity contingent, spindle-shaped, and devoid of atypicality, in favor of the ossifying fibroid.
Figure 5. Histological section showing numerous spindle cells, globular fibrillar bone structures, without a clear osteoblastic border.
The postoperative follow-up of the patient under antibiotic prophylaxis, corticosteroid therapy, analgesics and nasal lavage (after diseming), was favorable after 04 years of follow-up without recurrence.
Ossifying fibroid is a benign fibroosseous lesion of the jawbones containing varying amounts of calcified deposits of bone, cementum or a mixture of both. Taking into account the amount of hard tissue formed in the lesion, fibroid ossifying has been subdivided histologically into fibroid ossifying and fibroid cementifying. Included in odontogenic tumors for cementifying fibroid and non-odontogenic bone tumors for ossifying fibroid, respectively.
It usually occurs between the second and fourth decade, with a male/female ratio of 1:5. This female predominance is commonly accepted, even if no study on a large number of cases has been conducted so far

[12]
. Despite these data from the literature, our observation reports an unusual case in a 7-year-old male child.
The circumstances in which ossifying fibroids were discovered may be fortuitous because its evolution is slow and can remain asymptomatic for a long time. In an advanced stage, it causes functional and aesthetic discomfort, facial asymmetry, gingival swelling, mobility or tooth displacement

, as in our observation.
The evolution of this tumor is constantly benign, however if left untreated, the tumor grows slowly and can reach a considerable volume with rupture of the bony cortex and diffusion into the soft tissues.
From a radiological point of view, the ossifying fibroid is expressed on CT by a well-defined osteolytic image of unilocular or multilocular, associated or not with root resorptions

, consistent with our case.
Clinical and radiological examinations alone do not provide sufficient diagnostic arguments, only comparison with histopathological examination makes it possible to specify the exact nature of the tumor lesions.
The standard treatment is complete excision with a margin of safety due to the aggressive characteristics and potential for recurrence of some clinical forms of fibroid ossifican. In the case of large tumors, large incisions are necessary to expose the tumor

For small tumors, minimally invasive surgery may be possible via smaller incisions using an intraoral approach or endonasal endoscopy

Fibroosseous lesions of the facial mass remain rare entities, the diagnosis of which remains difficult both histologically and radiologically. The totality (comparison) of the clinical, histological and radiological data is often necessary to make the diagnosis. The treatment is based on surgery, the indications of which are dictated by the age of the patient, the volume and location of the tumor, and the possible functional or aesthetic impact.

AB - Ossifying fibroid is a tumor proliferation at the expense of maxillary bones belonging to the complex group of non-odontogenic tumors, having membranous ossification. It accounts for 2.5% of bone tumors and 7% of benign tumors of the head and neck. The objective was to report our diagnostiwc and therapeutic experience through a clinical observation case and literature review. It is a patient of a 7-year-old boy, in the ENT department of the Gabriel Toure University Hospital for painful swelling of the right hemiface associated with a noticeable asymmetry of the face evolving for 04 years. Physical examination revealed a swelling of the right hemiface, extending from the ipsilateral jugal and zygomatic region to the suborbital region, of hard consistency, fixed in relation to the superficial planes and deep, not hot measuring 10 cm over its large diameter, painful with a bulge of the hard ipsilateral palate and a reduction in the lumen of the right nasal cavity. Maxillofacial CT showed a very limited bone density mass that did not take the contrast medium. The histopathological examination after right partial maxillectomy under GA was in favor of FO. Postoperative follow-up was favorable after 04 years of follow-up without recurrence.
