2011
This paper intends to present clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of a case of gigantiform cementoma manifesting in a 14-year-old boy, without any familial involvement. He has been followed for 3 years. Further cases from the literature have been reviewed that confirm a similar clinicopathologic picture. This is the first case report that describes "non-familial gigantiform cementoma" after the World Health Organisation's classification of 2005.
Fibro-osseous lesion of maxilla. Report of two cases in a family with review of literature

Fibrous dysplasia is a disturbance of bone metabolism that is classified as a benign fibro-osseous lesion. Fibrous connective tissue containing abnormal bone, replaces normal bone. The etiology of fibrous dysplasia is unknown. The radiographic appearance of the irregularly shaped trabeculae aids in the differential diagnosis. Occurring most commonly in the second decade of life, the lesions of fibrous dysplasia can be surgically recontoured for esthetic or functional purposes once they become dormant.
