Spectrum of fibro osseous lesions of jaw: An institutional study

Fibroosseous lesions (FOLs) of craniofacial complex are poorly defined but pathologically diverse group conditions. FOLs represented by variety disease processes mimicking clinically and histopathologically as neoplasms, developmental dysplastic or inflammatory reactive process leading to difficulties in diagnosis hence clinicopathological correlation is required. To analyse fibro osseous for demographic details correlation. 26 cases clinicopathologically diagnosed such fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma cherubism were studied from archives the Department over a 14yr period (2009 2022) reviewed. In retrospective study showed that more commonly seen second decade life with female predilection mandible most affected. Amongst these found be common our 46% (12/26) compared dysplasia 42% (11/26) Cherubism 12% (3/26). present FOL slightly prevalent females than male, affecting individuals below 30 years age. Our data several overlapping epidemiological features. Thus combination different modalities seems necessary an accurate diagnosis.
