title: Fibro osseous lesions of cranio facial bones.
abstract: In a review of all tumours and tumour like lesions of the craniofacial bones between the years 1963 and 1980, 19 cases were diagnosed as fibro osseous lesions. The mean age of occurrence was 23.8 years with a slight male predominance (1.6:1). The clinical and histological aspects of the various lesions, the problems in diagnosis and the impact of diagnosis on clinical behaviour are discussed.
