Abstract

Deposition of mineralized material in a fibroblastic background is the common feature of a group of lesions that encompasses fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma and osseous dysplasia. In spite of this common feature, they can be discerned on basis of kind of mineralized material that is produced and the relationship with surrounding tissues. However, radiological and clinical features also play an important role in making the appropriate diagnosis when dealing with one of these afflictions.
