Focal Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia:An Unusual Case Report
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a fibro-osseous lesion that is a nonneoplastic reactive lesion. Fibro-osseous lesions are disturbances in bone metabolism in which normal bone is replaced by a connective tissue matrix that then gradually develops into cemento-osseous tissue. Typically, the lesion is asymptomatic and is detected on routine radiographic examination. Radiologically, this lesion has three stages of maturation: pure radiolucent, radiopaque/mixed radiolucent, and radiopaque appearance. During these stages the lesion can be misdiagnosed. In this case report a 57-year- old patient complaint of painless swelling of the right mandibular front tooth region which is presented along with a review of the differential diagnosis considered in order to reach a final diagnosis of focal cemento-osseous dysplasia.
