“…The oral exposure induced by the iatrogenic dental avulsions explains the secondary osteitic manifestations that were chronic from the onset and sustained by the avascular tumerous tissue [13]. Like dental avulsions, biopsy would entail the risk of secondary infection [13].…”

Introduction: Osseous dysplasia is a benign tumor of the jaws predominantly occurring in melanoderm women. The pathogenesis remains unknown. Its often fortuitous discovery usually is in the fourth decade of life. Its treatment involves surgery. Our aim was to report a case of osseous dysplasia secondary infection in Senegal. Observation: The over sixty-year-old patient initially came for recurring old suppuration. A prior history of dental avulsions and self-medication was found out. The clinical features were predominant chronic osteitic manifestations. Its radiologic presentation suggested a florid form. The combination of spiramycin-metronidazole had to be given twice. The isolated sequestrum was enucleated and the anatomopathology confirmed the diagnostics. Discussion: The patient's age conformed to late discovery due to silent progression and poor access to medical care. The prior iatrogenic avulsions can be explained by the absence of systematic radiological exploration and by the unawareness of the inconspicuous tumor. The clinical and radiological features at this stage of the osseous dysplasia secondary infection were typical. The treatment and the follow-up were dependent on the prevailing work conditions. Conclusion: The chronic osteitic manifestations are indicative of osseous dysplasia in elderly women in Senegal.

“…FGC occurs at young age, causes considerable jaw expansion and shows an autosomal dominant inheritance [1] but sporadic cases without a history of familial involvement have been reported [2]. FGC is characterised by extensive, well-circumscribed, mixed radiolucent-radiopaque masses in the mandible and the maxilla [3][4]. It was first reported in 1953 by Agazziand Belloni [4].…”

Dilemma always exists between the association of Gigantiform cementoma with bone fracture and confusion regarding its categorization as an osseous dysplasia or a separate entity having systemic manifestations. Here we report another rare case of a non-familial form of Gigantiform cementoma associated with bone fracture. We suggest to consider this as a separate entity from the group of osseous dysplastic lesions.

“…Odontomas are usually not fused with the dental root and show a more heterogeneous radiopacity. Benign Osteoblastoma, Periapical Cemental Dysplasia, Familial Gigantiform Cementoma, Hypercementosis (a small lesion not associated with pain or jaw swelling), Chronic Focal Sclerosing Osteitis, Osteomyelitis and Osteosarcoma are other lesions included in the differential diagnoses (3,4,5,8,11) Radiographic and clinical findings can help distinguish these lesions. Osteoblastoma and Cementoblastoma are closely related lesions with similar histological views.…”

ARTICLE INFOBackground: Odontogenic tumors are derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal remnants of the tooth-forming apparatus. Therefore, they are found exclusively in tooth-bearing areas. Similar to other neoplasms in the body, odontogenic tumors tend to histologically mimic the cell or tissue of origin. Case Report: A 5-year-old boy presented with a chief complaint of pain in the mandible which started 3 months ago. Oral examination revealed bony expansion and a radiopaque mass fused with the roots of deciduous second molar was detected during radiographic examination. After surgical excision of the lesion and the involved tooth, microscopic examination revealed neoplastic tissue consisted of trabeculae of mineralized material with irregular lacunae and prominent basophilic reversal lines. Each trabecula was lined by prominent cells surrounded by cellular connective tissue. The lesion infiltrated the pulp chamber and root canals. Conclusion: According to the clinical and radiographic findings, bone-producing tumors, odontogenic tumors with calcifications and reactive lesions were included in the differential diagnosis. However, based on histopathology and radiographic data, final diagnosis of Cementoblastoma, a benign odontogenic tumor, was confirmed. Patient follow-up revealed no recurrence of the lesion.
