All variations of fibro-osseous diseases demonstrate replacement of normal bone by fibrous connective tissue matrix within which varying amounts or combinations of osteoid and mature bone and in some instances cementum-like tissue are deposited.

Results: the H and E stain examination of the whole resected mass reveals a definite diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
