This review directs the focus on the imaging features of various fibro-osseous lesions and other bone lesions that can be of similar presentation. Broad diagnosis of "fibrous osseous lesion" may culminate in improper treatment and management. Radiographic discriminating factors between these entities are highlighted and summarized to improve the diagnostic process when encountering these lesions.

Establishing genotype-phenotype correlations in disorders of hereditary endocrine neoplasia is important for clinical screening, genetic counseling, prognostication, surveillance, and surgical strategy, and may also provide clues about disease pathogenesis. Important genotype-phenotype correlations are recognized, for example, in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A. The presence of such correlations has been less clear in other familial endocrine disorders associated with primary hyperparathyroidism including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), and the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT).

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is often difficult for skull base surgeons to address. FD arises due to the abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts, ultimately resulting in immature osseous tissue replacing normal cancellous bone. When the skull base is involved, it can result in cranial nerve compression.

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion primarily involving the mandible and maxilla, with a higher prevalence in middle-aged women of African or Asian descent. This article presents a case of mandibular FOD complicated by secondary infection, emphasizing clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies. The unique radiographic features of FOD necessitate careful differential diagnosis to prevent misdiagnosis with other jaw lesions.

Objective: To assess the sclerostin, β-catenin, and tryptase expression in fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaws.
Subjects And Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for these proteins on FOL and non-lesional bone. The sclerostin-positive cells were scored from 0 (no expression) to 3 (high expression).

Purpose Of Review: Fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) are benign, slow-growing lesions that are often incidentally discovered in the sinonasal cavity. They may necessitate surgical resection in patients with postobstructive sinusitis, or in cases of cranial nerve and orbital compression. We examine the recent advancements in otolaryngology relating to diagnostic characteristics and treatments for FOL, with emphasis on new technologies to improve outcomes and reduce recurrence.
