ABSTRACT
Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a benign condition of the jaws in which the normal architecture of bone is replaced by a fibrous tissue containing a variable amount of bone and cementum-like tissue. This lesion is most commonly seen in middle aged black women. FOD appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in the mandible, rarely in the maxilla. The lesion is usually asymptomatic and benign. However, a secondary infection may occur and its treatment can be difficult and complicated. This paper reports the case of two patients. The first one is a white woman aged 65 and the second one is a black woman aged 70, both diagnosed with FOD, revealed by secondary infections. The diagnosis was based on clinical and radiographic findings, as biopsy is contraindicated. Radiological and clinical features of FOD and its management will be also discussed on the basis of recent literature.
RESUMEN
La displasia ósea florida (DOF) es una patología benigna del maxilar y mandíbula en la que se sustituye la arquitectura normal del hueso por un tejido fibroso que contiene una cantidad variable de tejido óseo y cementoide. Esta lesión es más frecuente en mujeres negras de edad media. La DOF aparece como una masa densa, lobulada, a menudo situada simétricamente en la mandíbula, rara vez en el maxilar. La lesión suele ser asintomática y benigna. Sin embargo, una infección secundaria puede ocurrir y su tratamiento puede ser difícil y complicarse. Este artículo reporta el caso de dos pacientes. La primera es una mujer blanca de 65 años y la segunda es una mujer negra de 70 años, ambas diagnosticadas con DOF, revelada por infecciones secundarias. El diagnóstico se basó en los hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos, ya que la biopsia está contraindicada. Las características clínicas y radiológicas de la DOF y su manejo son discutidos en base a la literatura reciente.
