Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) of the jaws exhibit an overlapping histomorphologic spectrum with respect to nature of calcifications. Sometimes these calcifications may be difficult to characterize as bone and cementum on routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining. This causes difficulty in assessing the origin and diagnosis of these lesions. Thus the study aimed to characterize bone, cementum, and hard tissue components in FOLs using special stains.
