ABSTRACT
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. It usually exhibits as multiple radiopaque cemetum-like masses distributed throughout the jaws. Radiographically, FCOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. Computed tomography, because of its ability to give axial, sagittal, and frontal views, is useful in the evaluation of these lesions. This paper presents the case of a patient who was diagnosed with FCOD on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings.
RESUMO
A displasia cemento-óssea florida (DCOF) tem sido descrita como uma condição que afeta tipicamente os maxilares de mulheres negras de meia idade, geralmente exibindo massas radiopacas semelhantes ao cemento, distribuídas nos ossos maxilares. Radiograficamente, a DCOF apresenta-se como densas masas lobuladas, frequentemente distribuídas simetricamente em diversas regiões dos maxilares. A tomografia computadorizada, que oferece vistas axial, sagital e frontal, é útil na avaliação dessas lesões. Este artigo apresenta o caso de uma paciente em que a DCOF foi diagnoasticada com base nos achados clínicos e radiográficos.
