Abstract
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws, most commonly observed in middle-aged women, with the mandibular first molar region being the most frequently affected site. The majority of cases are asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiographs. Rarely, FCOD presents with symptoms such as swelling or pain. We report a case of FCOD in a 24-year-old female patient who presented with swelling and pain in the right posterior mandible, along with expansion of the buccal and lingual cortical plates. Such symptomatic presentation in a young patient is uncommon. This case highlights the importance of correlating clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of FCOD.
