BENIGN FIBROOSSEOUS LESIONS OF CRANIOFACIAL AREA IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. EVALUATION OF 28 CASES
Benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL) of the craniofacial area are represented by a variety of pathologic processes that are characterized by pathologic ossifications and calcifications in association with a hypercellular fibroblastic marrow element. The concept of BFOL has evolved over the last several decades and now includes two major entities: fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma. We have analyzed 28 cases of BFOLs of the craniofacial area in children and adolescents.
