The term ‘Fibro-Osseous Lesion’ is a generic
designation of a group of bone disorders characterized
by the replacement of bone by a benign connective
tissue matrix that displays varying degrees of
mineralization in the form of woven bone or
cementum.
6. It is a disease of Bone Maturation & Remodeling
in which the normal medullary bone & cortices are
replaced by a disorganized fibrous woven bone.
It was originally described by Lich ten stein in
1938 & Lich ten stein- Jaffe in 1942
Caused by deletion of a bone maturation protein
during embryogenesis.

7. 7
Basically 2 types:
Monostotic
Polyostotic
Polyostotic may be divided into 3 subtypes
• Craniofacial FD
• Lich ten stein-Jaffe type
• Albright syndrome
8. 8
Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia-
Limited to single bone.
80 to 85% of all cases (jaws being most common).
Diagnosed mostly in 2nd decade of life.
Male: female ratio about equal.
Painless swelling of the affected side is most
common feature
Maxilla involved more than mandible.

16 year old female pts. of MONOSTOTIC
FIBROUS DYSPLASIA.
10. 10
Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia:
Craniofacial:-
Peculiar form affecting skull bones
Not restricted to single bone, but confined to
single anatomic site.
Primarily affect maxilla, but may cross sutures
into sphenoid, zygoma, front-nasal bones and base
of skull.
12. 12
Lich ten stein- jaffe’s Type-
Multiple bone (skeleton including craniofacial & jaw
bones).
Female: Male 3:1
Recurrent bone pain, spontaneous #
Skeletal lesion became static with growth but
proliferation continue.
Most common site is neck of the femur(disease 1st
seen).
Café au lait (coffee with milk) pigmentation.
13. 13
Albright’s syndrome-
Most severe & least frequent.
Females mostly affected.
Endocrinopathies.
Café au lait pigmentation (larger & irregular).
Bone expansion causes disfigurement.
Pathological # cause deformities.

A) Ground Glass opacification in the mandible, (b)Ground glass in the maxilla,
(c). Clinical photograph demonstrating cortical expansion, (d). Diffuse unilateral
opacification of the maxillary sinus
19. 19
Expansion of the right maxillary bone with the
inferior displacement of the teeth and alveolar ridge
and the superior displacement of the orbit.
23. CENTRAL GIANT CELL GRANULOMA
Benign hyperplastic lesion of unknown aetiology.
More common in young females over a wide age
range.(60% in younger than 20yrs & 74% in younger than
30yrs)
Mandible is twice frequently involved than
maxilla,anterior region most commonly affected crossing
the midline.
The earliest sign of the lesion may be expansion of bone
with premature loosening & shedding of deciduous
teeth,usually painless.
Later,very expansile,may be destructive & penetrate cortical
bone & periosteum.
24. Radiological Features
Solitary or multilocular cyst like radiolucency.
May occupy whole mandible body.
Borders may be smooth,moderately well defined &
moderately well corticated.
Sometimes may show honeycomb appearance owing to
to the delicate, mild wavy & wispy trabeculation of bone.
Adjacent teeth often displaced,sometimes resorbed.
Surrounding buccal lingual bone expansion unevenly
producing the scalloped border.

28. LABORATORY FINDINGS
No change in blood chemistry.
Biopsy shows loose fibrillar connective tissue stroma
with many interspersed proliferating fibroblasts &
small capillaries.
Multinucleated giant cells are prominent.
29. MANAGEMENT
Thorough curettage.
Weekly inj of corticosteroids directly into tumour
with triamcinolone acetonide.
Salmon Calcitonin intradermal inj daily for 12 months
or as Nasal spray.
Interferon alfa also given in some cases.
Partial surgical resection indicated in aggressive
tumour.
32. 2/23/2023 32
1st begins 2.5yr to 5yrs of age
Male more than female
Associated with regional lymphadenopathy.
if maxilla is involved nasal obstruction seen.
Nasal obstruction causes enlargement of middle
concha.
35. RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES
Appears as large bilateral,multilocular,expansile
lesion.
The interior of lesion shows fine granular wispy
trabeculae.
Tooth buds may be destroyed or characteristically
displaced anteriorly.
The lesions may show signs of regression & by late
adulthood,the bone may appear to be completely
normal.
37. 37
Radiographic appearance of Cherubism similar to
giant cell granuloma,
Multiple odontogenic keratocyst in basal cell
nevus syndrome.
38. 38
No active treatment.
Extraction of teeth in involved area,
Surgical contouring of expanded lesion & complete
curettage.
radiation therapy is contraindicated leads to post
irradiation sarcoma.
