  • Title: [Radiologic diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones].
    Author: Ye XH.
    Journal: Zhonghua Fang She Xue Za Zhi; 1989 Apr; 23(2):86-9. PubMed ID: 2758933.
    Abstract:
    A radiologic-pathologic correlative study was carried out on 43 cases with fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones with emphasis on basis for radiological diagnosis. The x-ray manifestations according to density changes are classified into three types: sclerotic, osteolytic and mixed. The lesion extends along the longitudinal axis in the mandible whereas in the maxilla, the lesion spreads in a diffuse pattern along the wall of the maxillary antrum with preservation of maxillary contour. The authors considered that fibrodysplasia and ossifying fibroma are different disease entities and should be distinguished by combination of clinical, radiologic and pathologic evidences.
