Osteofibroma

Osteofibrosa

Osteofiber is a type of osteophyte. It consists of bone formations and fibrous tissue. The affected areas have high density and clear boundaries. A characteristic sign of pathology is a tumor from light gray to dark brown. Sizes may vary depending on the extent of the lesion. Most often these are solitary formations with a central inclusion, localized on the cheeks, lateral surface of the neck, and back. Sometimes osteofibromas appear on the internal mucous surfaces of the mouth with an induced form of kraurosis.

Pathogenesis During the formation of growths, a combination of provoking factors cannot be excluded. Typically, signs of osteofibroma are observed during a slow degenerative process of jaw tissue against the background of impaired metabolic status. It is possible that growths may form due to acquired conditions, for example, after surgery or implant installation. As a rule, osteofibres indicate a deficiency of vitamin and mineral composition, insufficient amount of collagen

Osteofibrosa is a benign connective tissue tumor that produces collagen and therefore provides a bone-like dermal framework. Typically, osteofiboma develops in adults in the second decade of life, but can appear at almost any age.

Osteofiber mainly develops under the influence of hormonal changes or metabolic diseases. The latter include von Hippel-Lindau disease, Sturge-Weber syndrome, and cerebellar hamarto-astrocytoma, also associated with elevated estrogen levels.

So, this tumor appears as a soft or hard formation in the connective tissue. Their shape can be different - round, elliptical, star-shaped, nodular. There can also be either a single or many formations. Tumor color
