“…Overall, in the present study, BFOLs were slightly more prevalent in females than males. These findings that are in agreement with various similar studies [6,7,12,13]. OD is a condition that has been interpreted as a dysplastic lesion or developmental anomaly confined to the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws or to edentulous alveolar processes [14,15].…”

“…The most frequently encountered BFOLs in this study were OF and FD. This finding corresponds to reports from Nigeria [3,6] but differs from findings of a study from Uganda [7], in which FD was the most common lesion followed by OF. To the contrary, ODs were reported to be the commonest BFOLs in studies from Brazil [2] and China [1].…”

“…This difference may be attributed to methodological variations in inclusion criteria based on the type of classification of BFOLs used since so far there has been no universally accepted classifications of fibro-osseous jaw lesions [11]. However, it is worth to investigate the role played by geographical or racial factors and differences in diagnosis through multicentric prospective studies with standardized diagnosis criteria [7]. The racial factor may have a significant role in occurrence of BFOL, especially OD since it has been noted typically in middle-aged black women [8].…”

“…There are several subtypes of BFOL which includes osseous dysplasia (OD), OF and FD [2,3,6,7]. Findings from Nigeria [3,6] indicate that ossifying fibroma is the most prevalent BFOL, while a study from Uganda [7] reported that FD is the most common lesion followed by ossifying fibroma. To the contrary, OD is reported to be the commonest BFOLs in studies from Brazil [2] and China [1].…”

Keywords:benign fibro-osseous lesion / ossifying fibroma / fibrous dysplasia / radiology / histopathology Abstract --Introduction: The benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL) are characterized by replacement of the normal bone by cellular fibrous tissue containing various forms of ossification. They encompass common clinical, radiologic and histopathological features and hence pose considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to clinicians and pathologists. Objective: To analyze the clinico-pathological and radiological features of BFOLs of the jaws in patients treated at Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania. Material and methods: A retrospective study of files of patients who were diagnosed with BFOLs from January 2011 to December 2013 was done. The collected information included data on demographic characteristics, the duration of the lesion, location of the lesion, presence of swelling, associated symptoms and reported radiological and histological features. Results: A total of 98 patient's records were retrieved. There was a predominance of females (59, 60.2%), with a male to female ratio of 1:1.5. The patient's age at presentation ranged from 5 years to 75 years with a mean age of 29.81 ± 15.28 years. Four types of BFOLs were encountered. Ossifying fibroma were the most frequent (61.2%), followed by fibrous dysplasia (19.4%). Maxilla was more affected than the mandible. Majority (>70%) of the BFOLs were radio-opaque. The common histological features in all four types of BFOL included presence of: woven bone in fibrous stroma, giant cells, loose collagen and foci of hemorrhage. Conclusion: In this sample, BFOLs, were slightly more prevalent in females than males, affecting individuals below 40 years at large. They showed several overlapping clinical, radiological and histological features; thus a combination of different modalities seems necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

“…A recent study conducted in Uganda showed 16 new cases of FOD and called attention to the lack of information about osseous dysplasia in sub-Saharan Africa. 22 Although the disease has an evident predilection for black people, cases of FOD might be underreported or underdiagnosed in that region because of the frequent asymptomatic presentation. In general, FOD is an indolent disease discovered accidentally on routine radiography.…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to correlate the clinical, demographic, and radiographic aspects of 82 cases of florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) from four countries assessed by five reviewers. Study Design. Retrospective data of patients diagnosed with FOD were obtained from archives of five institutes and analyzed according to clinical and radiographic criteria. Results. A total of 82 cases of FOD were included in the study. In the majority (77.5%) of FOD cases, black women were affected. The disease mainly affected the mandible (100%), and the stage of the lesion was directly correlated with the age (P < .05). The rates of convergence showed confluence of assessment in the mandible (posterior), and the highest rate of divergence between the reviewers was in assessing involvement in the maxilla. There were no differences among the characteristics of the lesion provided by the five institutions, except for the variable proportion of black patients affected by the disease. Conclusions. FOD mostly affects the mandible of middle-aged black women, and its stage is correlated with patient age. Although panoramic radiography is used for diagnosis, the divergence in assessment of the maxilla might indicate that this method is not the most suitable to evaluate this area.

The 5‐year prevalence of maxillofacial fibro‐osseous lesions in Uganda

Abstract: In this study, all the florid osseous dysplasia were seen among females. We need to carry out prospective studies to establish as to why and what kind of women get afflicted by this lesion.
