Abstract :

Background: Ossifying fibroma is a variant of fibrous dysplasia and catagorized as osteofibrosis lesion. It commonly affectslong bones but occasionally involves jaws. Mandible affected more common than maxilla. The treatment of ossifying fibroma includeexcision and resection. Excision of lesion and resection of maxilla could cause facial defect which cannot be reconstructed withbone graft. Purpose: The aim of this case report is to report the potential use of polypropylene mesh in facial reconstruction afterhemimaxillectomy in patients diagnosed with ossifying fibroma of the maxilla. Case: A 17-years-old female patient came to Oraland Maxillofacial Surgery clinic, Dental Hospital, Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, with chief complaint of swelling in theupper left cheek of 2 years duration which was not related to any history of toothache. Patient also complained of the itchiness andpain on the swelling area occasionally as well as salty discharge from the mass. The FNA was done and the citology result indicateda benign mesenchimal tumor. Incisonal biopsy was subsequently performed and the histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis ofcementifying fibroma. Case management: Left hemimaxillectomy was done, and post surgical defect in the facial and buccal aspectwas immediately reconstructed using three layers of polypropylene mesh. On follow-up, eleven months post-operatively, the patient waswell and there was no facial deformity or asymmetry. Conclusion: Polypropylene mesh is a potential material for facial reconstructionas it can reduce the risk of facial deformity after hemimaxillectomy of patients with tumor of the maxilla.
