  • Title: Radiology of multiloculated fibrous dysplasia of the jaws.
    Author: Lagundoye SB, Obisesan AA, Daramola JO, Oluwasanmi JO.
    Journal: J Natl Med Assoc; 1977 Nov; 69(11):779-81. PubMed ID: 752729.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of multiloculated lesion of the jaw (two in the mandible and one in the maxillar) closely mimicking ameloblastoma are described. Histology showed all three to be fibrous dysplasia. Against a diagnosis of ameloblastoma were (1) the relative fuzziness of the margins of the loculi and septae; (2) the mineralization of the matrix which gave a ground-glass background instead of the distinct radiolucency seen in ameloblastoma; and (3) the non-resorption of the dental root apices within the lesion.
