Fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs) are a group of benign conditions involving the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue and mineralized components like bone or cementum-like material. These lesions primarily affect the jaws and craniofacial bones, with common types including fibrous dysplasia (FD), cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD), and fibro-osseous neoplasms. FOLs can be classified based on clinical behaviour, histology, and radiographic features. Fibrous dysplasia, which presents as monostotic or polyostotic, is characterized by a "ground-glass" appearance on radiographs. Cemento-osseous dysplasia is often asymptomatic and involves the gradual replacement of bone with fibrous and cementum-like material. Fibro-osseous neoplasms such as cementifying and ossifying fibromas are benign tumours that may cause bone expansion and deformities. Diagnosis of FOLs requires correlation of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings due to overlapping features. Treatment depends on symptoms and severity, ranging from observation to surgical intervention. Accurate diagnosis ensures appropriate management and optimal patient outcomes.
