Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: report of a case documented with clinical,radiographic, biochemical and histological findings
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) has been described as a condition that characteristically affects the jaws
of middle-aged black women. This condition has also been classified as gigantiform cementoma, chronic sclerosing
osteomyelitis, sclerosing osteitis, multiple estenosis and sclerotic cemental masses. It usually exhibits as multiple
radiopaque cementum-like masses distributed throughout the jaws. Radiographically, FCOD appears as dense, lobulated
masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. Computed tomography, because of its
ability to give axial, sagittal, and frontal views, is useful in the evaluation of these lesions.
This article reports the case of a 45-year-old white man who was diagnosed with FCOD on the basis of clinical,
radiographic, biochemical and histological findings.
It is of major importance to realize that all dentists have a unique opportunity as well as ethical obligation to assist
in the struggle against wrong dental treatments that might save patients dental health. This case report illustrates
the point that periapical radiolucencies may represent benign fibro-osseous lesions that may be overlooked or result
in unnecessary endodontic treatment
Thoracopagus Conjoined Twins: A Case Report
Objective. Conjoined twin is a rarely seen congenital anomaly together with severe mortality and morbidity. The more common types of conjoined twins include the thoracopagus type, where the fusion is anterior, at the chest, and involves the heart. We are reporting one case of conjoined thoracopagus twins diagnosed by ultrasonography at 11 weeks. Case Report. In a multigravid pregnant woman who has been admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of conjoined twins, thoracopagus, by ultrasonography at an 11-week gestation, termination of the pregnancy was performed. Conclusion. Making an early diagnosis with ultrasonographic examination gives the parents a chance to elect pregnancy termination
