Abstract:
A subtype of benign fibro osseous lesions known as focal cemento osseous dysplasia (FCOD) usually affects only one region in the jaws most common being the tooth-bearing regions. It is usually asymptomatic, and unintentionally discovered during routine radiological examinations. Treatment for these lesions is usually not needed. The patient in this case was a 14-yearold female patient, who had a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion in the posterior region of her jaw. Cemento ossifying fibroma was the initial differential diagnosis determined by radiographic investigation. Following the surgical excision of the lesion, a histopathologic analysis was conducted, and FCOD was identified as the final diagnosis. No complications were noted after a few months of surgery, and complete healing of the bone was noted.
