Popis: Thirty-five benign fibro-osseous lesions of the mandible and maxilla in the Bantu were reviewed. Their clinical and radiographic features are very similar, and it was impossible to make a definitive diagnosis on these grounds alone. Although there was some overlap in the pathologic picture in 3 cases, in the remainder it was possible to make a definitive pathologic diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, or giant cementoma. There were 6 instances of chronic osteomyelitis incorrectly diagnosed clinically, and at first pathologically, as either fibrous dysplasia or ossifying fibroma.
