Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia in a young Indian woman. A case report

Abstract: We present a rare case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) occurring in a 27-year-old Indian woman. She presented with three lesions, two of them symmetrical, at the posterior region of the mandible. Another lesion appeared nine months later, symmetrical to the existing third lesion. This confirmed the diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia as being symmetrical asymptomatic bone lesions occurring in the jaw. The diagnosis was made radiographically depending on a series of radiographs, as biopsy i… Show more

“…On the other hand, looking at the second part of the question, the concept of apparently normal bone that is likely to develop dysplastic lesions leads to a highly unstable tissue environment that makes the dynamics of bone healing an unpredictable phenomenon. It should be noted that although the lesions in COD usually have considerable stability, cases have been described in which the disease shows a progressive developmental behavior reflected by an expansion of lesions or by a rise in the number of new lesions and simple bone cysts that advance to areas that were not originally affected 5,[7][8][9][10] .…”

“…According to Ariji et al [12], histologic examination cannot and should not always be done for all lesions visible on radiographs, proposing that only the clinical features and the radiographic findings are important in the diagnosis of FCOD. Jerjes et al [13] have suggested that histological investigation is unnecessary in reaching a diagnosis of this condition.…”

“…Complete surgical removal is unnecessary after a diagnosis is made, although a periodic follow-up is recommended in order to ensure that no further enlargement or expansion occurs, features that argue in favor of an ossifying fibroma that was merely encountered in an early stage of development. Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia When lesions with radiologic and microscopic features similar to FCOD extend to two or more quadrants of the jaw, the disease is termed florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FlCOD) [112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120]. In most instances, the disease affects the mandible bilaterally and may or may not show concomitant maxillary involvement.…”
