Hybrid lesions are rare and microscopically composed of areas of distinct pathologic entities. The occurrence of dual
lesions containing Central Giant Cell Lesion (CGCL) and fibro-osseous lesions has been recorded in the literature. Although
many similar cases have been reported the pathophysiology of such lesions is yet not well understood. Furthermore, their
clinical behaviour and treatment guidelines are also not clearly outlined. Presented here is a unique case of a 17-yearold male with a hybrid lesion with a triad of pathological entities, Ossifying fibroma, CGCL and aneurysmal bone cyst.
The clinical presentation, pathogenesis and behaviour of the reported lesion are comprehensively explained. The authors
believe that greater knowledge of the hybrid variety of jaw lesions may aid in better understanding and management of
these lesions by clinicians.
