Benign fibro-osseous lesions are a rare pathology of the jaws and skull bones

Rarely intraosseous lesions of the jaws and skull bones are characterized by structural disorders with gradual replacement by fibrous tissue with various amounts of cement-like, osteoid, or mixed mineralized structures. The clinical and radiological signs vary depending on the “age”: there are early and late stages of the course of benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL). The concept of classifying this pathology has been discussed for many years. The current classification includes only fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma and cementoosseous dysplasia. In clinical practice, the rarity and diversity of BFOL jaws creates diagnostic difficulties. There are no uniform approaches in the treatment of BFOL of the jaws and skull bones.
