Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
  • Dental Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a benign, non-neoplastic condition affecting jawbones, characterized by multiple sclerotic masses.
  • While typically asymptomatic and untreated, FOD-affected bone is highly susceptible to secondary infections like osteomyelitis.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of FOD complicated by osteomyelitis, triggered by generalized periodontitis and a bone biopsy.
  • The patient presented with secondary infection, necessitating surgical intervention and ongoing follow-up.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the potential for severe complications, such as osteomyelitis, arising from seemingly benign conditions like FOD.
  • Effective management involves addressing the primary odontogenic infection sources and considering surgical intervention for persistent inflammation.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and management of secondary infections in FOD patients are crucial for preventing complications.
  • This case contributes to the understanding of FOD's clinical spectrum and treatment strategies, particularly in complex infectious scenarios.
