This case presents an unusual manifestation of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia associated with a dentigerous cyst in a 20-year-old Asian woman.

Supporting Evidence

  • The patient presented with three lesions in different quadrants of the jaw.
  • Histopathological examination revealed cemental masses in a fibrous connective tissue stroma.
  • The case is noted as the first report of a dentigerous cyst co-existing with florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.

Takeaway

A 20-year-old woman had a rare condition where a type of bone growth in her jaw was found along with a cyst. Doctors decided to operate because it was causing her face to look uneven.

Methodology

Diagnosis was made through clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, followed by surgery under general anesthesia.

Limitations

The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.

Participant Demographics

20-year-old Indian woman.
