Description
Summary:Florid osseous dysplasia is a rare benign fibro-osseous multiquadrant dysplastic lesion confined to the alveolar process of jaws, generally asymptomatic and usually detected incidentally during radiologic examination and requires no treatment unless symptomatic or cosmetically concerning. In this article, we present two rare cases of florid osseous dysplasia in Indian women with their clinical, radiographic and histologic findings and a brief review of literature. The first case was asymptomatic and the lesion was detected during routine radiographic examination and required no treatment whereas, the second case presented with features of osteomyelitis. Based on the clinical findings, the case was diagnosed as chronic suppurative osteomyelitis, but, after radiologic examination, diagnosis of florid osseous dysplasia with secondary osteomyelitis was made. Besides diagnostic challenge, management of the lesion is difficult due to poor vascularity. In our case, antibiotic prophylaxis along with surgical debridement and sequestrectomy was done with regular recall visits.
