Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL)of the jaws are a diverse group of lesions, which are characterized by substitution of normal bone with fibroblast-like cells, collagen bundles, and various mineralized materials (1). The term refers to different entities that present similar macroscopic and microscopic features, indicating they have similar clinical, radiological, and histopathological features but different biological behaviors. This difference in behavior may present a problem in diagnosis and clinical management (2, 3). FOLs of the maxillofacial region have been classified in different ways. The terms “cementifying ossifying fibroma” and “cementifying osseous dysplasias” have been changed to “ossifying fibroma” and “osseous dysplasias” by Reichhart et al (4). This step was taken to finalize the discussion as to whether cementum is produced in these lesions or not. The FOLs are classified into three groups: (1)fibrous dysplasia(FD); (2)ossifying fibroma(OF); and (3)osseous dysplasia(OD)(5). This was a practical classification based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) criteria. OD has different subtypes. There is some evidence that florid osseous dysplasia(FLOD)is a progressive form of focal osseous dysplasia(FOD). FLOD may be one of its presentations or an early stage of the florid Correspondence to: Aysegul Apaydin E-mail:apaydin@istanbul.edu.tr Article History Abstract
