TL;DR: In the first volume of the Journal of Oral Surgery, Dr G. Victor Boyko presented a case of osteofibroma of the mandible associated with leontiasis ossea of the skull, with evidence of both bone destruction and proliferation in the inferior frontal and orbital regions.

TL;DR: The benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL) represent a clinically diverse group of disorders of bone that share similar histopathologic features and there is now essential agreement that the osseous dysplasias represent a single disease process.
Abstract: Summary: The benign fibro-osseous lesions (BFOL) represent a clinically diverse group of disorders of bone that share similar histopathologic features. As a group, they are relatively common in the craniofacial complex, especially the jaws. Although the general concept of BFOL is relatively well known, specific diagnostic interpretation of individual cases is often challenging. New concepts and controversies have arisen over the past 10 to 15 years regarding classification and diagnostic criteria. However, among the new theories and contentions, there is now essential agreement that the osseous dysplasias represent a single disease process, while the so-called “juvenile active ossifying fibroma” and other “aggressive,” “active,” “psammomatoid” ossifying/cementifying fibromas remain controversial. This review is presented to update the surgical pathologist on the various entities comprising the spectrum of BFOL and to examine the criteria for their diagnosis.

TL;DR: Test results and skeletal radiographs indicate that the disease is limited to the jaws, and these cases appear to represent the most exuberant manifestation of this reactive fibro-osseous jaw disease.

TL;DR: The lesions showed a 13:9 predilection for the maxilla and frequently involved the maxillary sinus, orbital floor, and zygoma and the so-called “fibrous osteomas” of the jaws should be considered as examples of fibrous dysplasia.
