Fibro-osseous lesions of the skull base include a variety of lesions with different
biologic behavior. The most common lesions include fibrous dysplasia, osteoma, aneurysmal
bone cyst, and juvenile ossifying fibroma. The diagnosis can usually be established
with radiographic imaging. In the absence of symptoms, slow-growing lesions can often
be observed. When surgery is indicated for relief of symptoms, endoscopic endonasal
techniques are well suited for all age groups.
