Although craniofacial bone is the second common site of fibrous dysplasia involvement, it is rarely found in the paranasal sinus. Among fibrous dysplasia of the head and neck, the maxilla and mandible are the most frequent sites to be involved. Fibrous dysplasia becomes dormant in adolescence and early adult life and is more common in female. It is one of the fibrous osseous lesions and should ...

AIM Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disease in which medullary bone is replaced by fibro-osseous tissue, and causes distortion and overgrowth of the involved bone and represents about 3% of all bone tumors. There is variability in the manifestation of Fibrous Dysplasia lesions with imaging techniques due to their proportional variations of fibrous to osseous tissue. Radiological d...

cemento-ossifying fibroma is a fibro-osseous lesion that has benign neoplastic behavior. we report two cases of cemento-ossifying fibroma (cof) and review the literature in order to study the imaging findings of cof. it is almost unavoidable that diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia from cof will be complicated by the fact that some pathologic features are shared by both lesions. so the final definit...

In this study, we formulate a new proposal that complements previous classifications in order to assist dental practitioners in performing a differential diagnosis based on patients' radiographs. We used general search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks to find relevant studies by ...

Ossifying Fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous tumor, but osteolytic and invasive, as well being rare lesion. It manifests itself more frequently in the mandible than upper jaw, located preferably molar (52%) or premolar (25%) region. most commonly diagnosed women (5:1) between 3rd 4th decades of life. related to other pathologies such bone dysplasia, florid cement-osseous among others. This lesio...

A case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia in a 16-year-old Japanese boy is presented. The lesion was unusually large and affected all four quadrants. Progressive increase in the bulk of the lesion was seen.
