  • Title: Florid osseous dysplasia associated with multiple simple bone cysts: a patient with 22 years of follow-up.
    Author: Fernandes DT, Pereira DL, Santos-Silva AR, Vargas PA, Lopes MA.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2016; 64(2):21-5. PubMed ID: 26943084.
    Abstract:
    Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) has been described as a condition that typically affects the jaws of middle-aged women of African descent and usually presents as multiple radiopaque masses distributed throughout the jaws. The diagnosis is generally based on clinical and radiographic presentation, often involving various regions of the jaws without evident bone expansion. This article describes the course of FOD in a 27-year-old African-American woman during 22 years of follow-up, emphasizing the dynamic radiographic characteristics of this entity and unusual co-occurrence with multiple simple bone cysts. These data reinforce the importance of long-term follow-up in patients diagnosed with FOD.
