Benign fibro-osseous lesions: A retrospective study of sixty-four cases from a single institute, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Objective: Benign fibroosseous lesions (BFOLs) encompass a heterogenous collection of bone conditions characterized by replacing normal bone with fibro-collagenous tissue with osteoid or woven bone, and cementicles. Despite their clinical significance, the frequency of BFOLs in Saudi Arabia still ne...

description Objective: Benign fibroosseous lesions (BFOLs) encompass a heterogenous collection of bone conditions characterized by replacing normal bone with fibro-collagenous tissue with osteoid or woven bone, and cementicles. Despite their clinical significance, the frequency of BFOLs in Saudi Arabia still needs to be assessed. Methods: This retrospective study investigated the frequency and demographics of BFOLs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by retrieving all cases recorded between January 1984 and January 2013 from a single Oral Pathology Laboratory archive. Results: A total of 64 cases were classified as BFOLs, with a predominance in females (67.2 %) and a median age of 21.5 years. The most prevalent condition identified was fibrous dysplasia (45.31 %), followed by cemento-ossifying fibroma (26.56 %). There were significant sex differences between BFOLs, with a p-value of 0.03. FD was predominantly located in the maxilla (65.5 %), whereas COF was predominantly found in the mandible (82.3 %). Recurrence was observed in 17.2 % of patients with FD, in contrast to no reported recurrence in patients with COF. Conclusion: This study represents the first exploration of BFOL frequency and demographics in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, highlighting the need for further investigations to comprehensively understand the nature of these lesions in our population.
