Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is benign and exhibits multifocal involvement of tooth-bearing areas of the jaw. Initially, the lesions are radiolucent but become mixed. In late stages, the lesions change into a radiopaque mass with a thin radiolucent rim. Most FCOD cases are asymptomatic, and conservative treatment is recommended. However, surgical intervention is necessary in secondary infected cases. Because of hypovascularity, infected lesions are difficult to manage and do not respond to antibiotic medications. This clinical report describes the treatment of secondary infection of an FCOD lesion with both conservative and surgical interventions.

Florid cemento-osseous dyspl잃ia with concommitant traumatic bone cyst is uncommon condition. We report a case of florid cemento 。，sseous dysplasia involving four quadrants of the jaws and associated with large cystic lesion of the mandible misdiagnosed as a multiple odontogenic keratocysts in a 37-year-old Korean woman. Histological examination revealed unencapsulated fibroblastic proliferation with formation of bone and cementum, showing different developmental stages, and cys디c lesions resembling a traumatic bone cyst.
