| Abstract |
Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial skeleton (BFOL) are a variant group of intraosseous disease processes that share similar microscopic features characterized by hypercellular fibroblastic stroma containing various combinations of bone or cementum-like tissue and other calcified structures [1-6]. Whereas some are diagnosable histologically, most require a combined assessment of clinical, microscopic and radiologic features. Some BFOL of the craniofacial complex are unique to that location whereas others are encountered in bones from other regions. Reactive, neoplastic, developmental and dysplastic pathologic processes are included under the rubric of BFOL and treatment varies from disease to disease. This review will discuss the clinical, microscopic and radiologic aspects of the more important types of BFOL of the craniofacial complex with updated information on underlying genetic and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of disease. Four main groups of BFOLs will be addressed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 December 2020.
All research outputs
#1,463,633
of 24,580,204 outputs
Outputs from Head and Neck Pathology
#89
of 993 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,924
of 372,621 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Head and Neck Pathology
#2
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,580,204 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 993 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 372,621 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
