. A total of 841 reviewed cases and 75 reported cases of fibro‐osseous lesions of the jaws, excluding the giant cell group, are analyzed with regard to clinical, radiographic, and histologic features. Precise criteria for the differential diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, gigantiform cementoma, chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis, focal sclerosing osteomyelitis, and periapical cementoma have been presented with emphasis on radiographic and behavioral features.
