Abstract
The principal conditions included under the heading of fibro-osseous disease are fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma and benign osteoblastoma. In the nose and sinuses accurate differentiation of these lesions on histological grounds can be difficult. The criteria used for the different entities show some overlap and the problem is further compounded by the variable histology which is often found in different parts of the same lesion (Michaels 1978). In particular the dividing line between fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma is unclear. Some authors regard the latter as a variety of monostotic fibrous dysplasia, while others maintain that it is a separate entity.
