A case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) mimicking periapical pathology is presented. The fact that the patient's lesion failed to resolve three years after root canal therapy, in addition to the presence of a mixed radiolucency with discreet radiopacities, mandated a biopsy which (along with radiographic co-relation) confirmed the diagnosis of cemento-osseous dysplasia. 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.
本文报告一例酷似根尖周病变的 florid 骨化性纤维瘤(COD)病例。患者的病变在根管治疗三年后仍未消退,且存在混合性透影区伴有散在的阻射影,这使得必须进行活检(结合影像学检查)以确诊骨化性纤维瘤。该病例报告表明,根尖周透影区可能代表良性纤维-骨病变,这些病变可能被忽视或导致不必要的牙髓治疗。
