Do adolescent ossifying fibromas recur after removal?

Adolescent ossifying fibroma is usually not easy to recur after removal. Ossifying fibroma is congenital structural malformation, a kind of benign tumor, which can occur in maxilla, mandible, tibia, fibula and other parts of the body. When it occurs in maxilla and mandible, there can be no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and with the gradual enlargement of the tumor, the patients can have facial deformities and so on. When the tumor occurs in tibia and fibula, the patients have no pain in the early stage, with the development of the disease, the legs appear to be swollen or curved and deformed, and sometimes pathological fracture can occur. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones has the possibility of self-healing before the age of 5, and may not receive surgical treatment for the time being. If the symptoms are not relieved or continue to worsen, then it is necessary to receive surgical treatment, and generally the treatment effect is better after the operation, and it is not easy to recur. If the diagnosis of osteoid fibroma is confirmed, it is recommended to carry out standardized treatment as soon as possible to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
