Nasal cavity - Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma

Psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (POF) is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor which is a variant of ossifying fibroma that typically involves the sinonasal tract. It is characterised by presence of numerous small, round ossicles or psammomatoid bodies dispersed in cellular brous stroma. It is histologically and behaviorally distinct from other fibroosseous lesions such as ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia. It causes cosmetic disfigurement and has a tendency to recur, hence complete surgical excision and follow-up is mandatory. Herein we present a case of psammomatoid ossifying fibroma in nasal cavity.
