Abstract

Fibro-osseous lesions are a poorly defined group of processes affecting the jaws and craniofacial bones characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue containing a newly formed mineralized product, and include developmental lesions, reactive or dysplastic lesions and neoplasms. Fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws frequently include fibrous dysplasia, cemento osseous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. Although the histological appearance and clinical and radiographic features of most of these lesions are similar, they show a wide range of biological behaviours. Therefore, the treatment varies. The case described in this article presents a 50-year-old male patient with a fibroosseous lesion located in the right mandibular angulus. Based on the histologic findings, fibroosseous the lesion was diagnosed. The patient was referred to surgery. No invasive procedure was performed for treatment and regular clinical and radiological follow-up was recommended. Fibroosseous lesions in this region is very rare in the literature. This situation makes the case valuable.
