Abstract

The aim was to report on a case of ossifying fibroma, consisting of a benign fibro-osseous lesion characterized by slow growth and proliferation of fibrous cellular tissue, bone, cement or a combination. A 29-year-old male patient was attended at a hospital, after he had suffered a car accident. During the clinical examination, increased volume in the region of the right side of the mandible was observed, and a fracture in the middle third of the face was suspected. The tomographic examination showed an image suggestive of fracturing of the left-side zygomatic complex, without displacement, and with a well-delimited radiopaque image of the mandible. The patient was sent to a hospital where panoramic radiography, posteroanterior radiography of the face and teleradiography were performed in order to better document the case. An incisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination showed the presence of a benign bone lesion suggestive of ossifying fibroma. Surgery was performed in order to completely remove the lesion, with fixation using a reconstruction plate. A new anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 August 2017.
All research outputs
#23,319,379
of 25,986,827 outputs
Outputs from Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition)
#1
of 1 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#344,835
of 402,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition)
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,986,827 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 0.2. This one scored the same or higher as 0 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 402,345 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
