Background:Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) are one of the commonest entities reported in the head and neck region. However, studies on these groups of lesions on Indian population were not carried out before. So this motivated us to analyze the clinico-pathologic correlation of fibro-osseous lesions reported at our hospital.Materials and Methods:A retrospective review was made of all the lesions surgically treated in our hospital. A total of 6,175 biopsies were performed during the study period. All the cases which were histopathologically diagnosed as FOLs were included in the study. The demographic data, radiographic features, and histopathologic findings were analyzed and compared with similar studies on other races.Results and Conclusion:We could find 80 cases diagnosed as fibro-osseous lesions and information about them was documented. The most common FOL reported in the region was cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) (75%) than fibrous dysplasia (FD) (25%). These were commonly occurring in 2nd decade without any sex or site predilection. However, COF was showing a slight female predominance and FD with a definite male predominance. COF was commonly seen in mandible (posterior region) whereas FD mainly confined to the maxilla (as a whole bone). Radiographically, most of COF showed well-defined mixed opaque and lucent areas whereas FD showed diffuse borders. Cortical plate expansion and resorption of associated teeth was a frequent finding in COF when compared with FD. Histopathologically, stroma was fibrocellular in many cases of COF, whereas most FDs showed fibrous stroma, interspersed with mainly woven bone.

“…Ogunsalu et al. (26) found that in Jamaica the most common types of fibro‐osseous lesions of the jaws were fibrous dysplasia (51.7%), followed by ossifying fibroma (34.5%). In contrast, in this study ossifying fibroma was the most common (50.8%), followed by fibrous dysplasia (42.6%).…”

“…There is a paucity of reports on geographic or racial variation in the relative frequency of fibro‐osseous jaw lesions in the English‐language literature, other than that by Ogunsalu et al. (26). To our knowledge, there are no previously published reports on the relative frequencies and the clinicopathologic features of fibro‐osseous jaw lesions in Thailand.…”

“…6,7 Malignant transformation is rare, and is usually precipitated by radiation therapy. 6,8 The diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia can be made by radiologic imaging and confirmed by bone biopsies. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging are useful for evaluating the soft tissue components and the entire extent of a lesion.…”

Fibrous dysplasia of the bones is an uncommon congenital skeletal disorder that is found equally in both genders and is not inherited. Its etiology has been linked to an activating mutation of Gsα and the downstream effects of the resultant increase in cAMP. Fibrous dysplasia is categorized as either monostotic or polyostotic, and may occur as a component of McCune-Albright syndrome or the rare Mazabraud syndrome. Long bones, skull bones, and ribs are the most commonly affected bones. The radiological picture is somewhat variable, including a ground-glass appearance, expansion of the bone, and sclerosis surrounding the lesion. Histologically, fibrous dysplasia shows irregularly-shaped trabeculae of immature, woven bone in a background of variably cellular, loosely arranged fibrous stroma. It may be complicated by pathologic fracture, and rarely by malignant transformation. This review examines interesting issues surrounding the etiology of fibrous dysplasia, its clinical and laboratory manifestations, radiological picture, utility of bone biopsy, gross and microscopic pathology, complications, and its differential diagnostic considerations.

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw bones in Jamaica: analysis of 32 cases

Abstract: These lesions are more common in females, furthermore it is suggested that the inconsistent age at presentation for some of these lesions may be peculiar to Jamaica, and may be due to delay in reporting a lesion by the patient, as routine dental examination is not a common practice.
