“…The mildest and most self-limited form of sclerosing osteomyelitis is encountered in the posterior mandible at the apices of molar teeth [121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129]. The condition is extremely rare in the maxilla.…”

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial complex are represented by a variety of disease processes that are characterized by pathologic ossifications and calcifications in association with a hypercellular fibroblastic marrow element. The current classification includes neoplasms, developmental dysplastic lesions and inflammatory/reactive processes. The definitive diagnosis can rarely be rendered on the basis of histopathologic features alone; rather, procurement of a final diagnosis is usually dependent upon assessment of microscopic, clinical and imaging features together. Fibrous dysplasia and osteitis deformans constitute two dysplastic lesions in which mutations have been uncovered. Other dysplastic bone diseases of the craniofacial complex include florid osseous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia and periapical cemental dysplasia, all showing a predilection for African descent individuals; although no specific genetic alterations in DNA coding have yet to be uncovered and most studies have been derived from predominant high African descent populations. Ossifying fibromas are neoplastic lesions with four subtypes varying with regard to behavior and propensity for recurrence after surgical excision. The clinicopathologic and molecular features of this unique yet heterogeneous group of diseases are reviewed.

“…2 The least possible diagnosis was isosteogenic osteosarcoma. Although osteosarcoma occurs more frequently in males than in females, it is very rare and the remaining features of it, such as older age of incidence, involvement of the posterior mandible, poorly defined borders and invasiveness were not compatible with our patient.…”

“…Low-virulent bacteria plus a young immunocompetent patient with a high capacity for bone remodeling is more probable to show a sclerosing form of the condition. 2 Osteomyelitis is rare in young people except when there is a traumatic condition. 3 …”

“…Those histopathological findings seemed to be the reaction against mild chronic inflammation which had infiltrated from the tooth and/or maxillary sinus base. The pathogenesis of CFSO has been reported as resulting from mild and continuous infection of the pulp (1,5). It is usually seen at the apex of a tooth in which there has been a long-standing pulpitis (7).…”

“…Eliasson et al reported a female-to-male incidence ratio of 3 to 2, and 50% of the cases were in patients under 30 years of age (2). Pain is characteristically mild or absent, and there is no swelling, lymphadenopathy, or jaw expansion (1). Traumatic malocclusion may play a role in the pathogenesis of CFSO (3).…”
