Florid osseous dysplasia in a middle-aged Turkish woman: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is an uncommon, benign, cemento-osseous lesion of the jaws. The etiology of FOD is still unknown. It is often asymptomatic and may be identified on routine dental radiographs. The classic radiographic appearance of FOD is amorphous, lobulated, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque masses of cotton-wool appearance with a sclerotic border in the jaws. In our case the lesion was found incidentally on routine periapical radiographs taken for restored teeth and edentulous areas. For further and detailed examination, a panoramic radiograph and cone-beam computed tomograph (CBCT) were taken. The panoramic radiograph and CBCT revealed maxillary bilateral and symmetrical, non-expansile, well-defined, round, radiopaque masses in contact with the root of the maxillary right second molar and left first molar teeth. Our aim in presenting this case report was to highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosis of FOD.

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a benign condition of the jaws in which the normal architecture of bone is replaced by a fibrous tissue containing a variable amount of bone and cementum-like tissue. This lesion is most commonly seen in middle aged black women. FOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in the mandible, rarely in the maxilla. The lesion is usually asym...
