The diagnosis and management for juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) of the skull base are challenging, and clinical data are limited. A retrospective review of JPOF was performed, and the clinical characteristics, treatment strategy, and prognosis were analyzed. There were 23 patients pathologically confirmed with JPOF, most with JPOF located in the skull base area (19/23, 82.6%). Of those tumors, 43.5% presented with dura matter breakthrough. Most of the chief complaints were headache (n = 8, 34.8%) and visual impairment (n = 5, 21.7%). Most of the tumors were solid tumors with spherical appearance, frequently accompanied by cysts of various size (n = 14, 60.9%). Craniotomy, mostly via the frontal approach, was the most common approach in the present series, comprising 73.6% (17/23) of all cases. The endoscopic endonasal approach was performed in 6 cases (26.1%). In total, 62.5% of patients (15/23) underwent gross total resection, 8.7% of patients (2/23) underwent subtotal resection, and 26.1% of patients (6/23) underwent partial resection. After a mean follow up of 66.1 ± 36.1 months (range, 3-124), 3 patients (13.6%) suffered from tumor recurrence with a mean recurrence time of 13 months. The present series of skull base JPOFs showed that radical surgery combined with skull base reconstruction contributed to overall good prognosis. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and to characterize its pathologic characteristics.
