A Rare Presentation of Cemento-ossifying Fibroma with Inherent High Flow Vascular Malformation: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
(Springer, 2025) Murtaza Ali; Arjun D. Mahajan; Vyomika Bansal; Akhilesh Kumar Singh
Background: Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a rare subtype of benign fibro-osseous lesions predominantly affecting the craniofacial region. But tumor with combination of COF and vascular malformation has not been described in literature. Case: Following is the case of 14-year-old female patient with extensive COF of right maxilla encroaching orbit, maxillary antrum, nasal cavity, and zygoma. During course of careful investigations, embedded vascular malformation based on right maxillary and facial artery was diagnosed, in which aspiration cytology played crucial role. After confirmation by computed tomographic (CT) angiography, proper vascular control was gained by superselective embolization followed by surgical resection as definitive management. © The Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India 2025.

Purpose: To study the prevalence of oral mucosal variants (OMVs), oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) and to determine their association with demographic parameters, body mass index (BMI), and ABO/Rh blood group among the elderly population of Aligarh. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among elderly patients, of both genders, aged more than 60 years. Demographic data (including age, gender, marital status, and history of systemic illness) BMI, and ABO/Rh blood group were recorded. Oral examination was performed by a single oral physician, and the presence of OMVs and OMLs was recorded as Class I and Class II. Langlais and Miller’s atlas was used to confirm the diagnosis. The perceived stress scale (PSS) was used to evaluate stress. Biopsy was performed if required. Data obtained were tabulated and statistically analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: A total of 989 patients were selected in the study, out of which 666 (318 OMVs and 348 OMLs) cases had oral mucosal findings. Maximum oral findings were noted in Group I (60–69 years). Fordyce granules (32.07%) were the most common OMV, while red and white lesions (43.67%) were the most common OMLs. A strong association (P < 0.005) was found between stress and vesico-bullous OMLs. 45.8% of elderly were found to be underweight. OMLs patients showed a strong association with at least two associated systemic diseases. B+ve was the most common blood group among patients with OMLs. Conclusion: We observed that geriatric oral health is strongly affected by increasing age, BMI, marital status, deleterious tobacco/betel nut chewing habits, systemic diseases, stress, and blood group. © 2025 Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology.
