Florid cemento osseous dysplasia is a controversial disease in terms of diagnosis sinceclinical and radiographic findings are similar to those of other osseous sclerosing lesions. It affects most often the mandible of black women, older than 40 years.The radiographic findings include radiopaque masses and radiolucent strips with badly-defined borders. Alveolar osseous expansion, suppuration and fistulization may develop in case of secondary infection (osteomyelitis), which occurs due to exposure of avascular bone mass to the oral cavity.Downloads
