Long-term follow-up of large series that would have revealed the long-term outcomes of FD was lacking. This is necessary because many cases do not burn out at the end of adolescence, as expected of a hamartoma, but are reactivated.

Although long-term follow-up of large series that would have revealed the long-term outcomes of OF was lacking, a 12% recurrence rate is clinically significant and suggests that OFs should be considered for long-term follow-up.

The nomenclature for FCOD is extensive, but older and more general terms were more effective in recalling SR-identified reports. Cases in a report based on pathology files appear to be older than those in a report based on radiology alone files. With the exception of a higher prevalence of pain in Orientals, mainly Chinese, there did not appear to be any differences in presentation compared with that observed in Black communities.
