Infected florid osseous dysplasia: clinical and imaging follow-up

Abstract: Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is a rare fibro-osseous lesion of the jaw usually identified incidentally on radiograph. It rarely presents with clinical symptoms. A case of FOD presenting with features similar to osteomyelitis is discussed here. The diagnosis is based on radiographic findings; biopsy or surgical intervention should be avoided as it may predispose to infection.

“…Therapy with antibiotics/analgesics was reported in 23 cases (63.9%). In addition, the literature has also recommended antibiotic prophylaxis prior to surgical procedures, to avoid the risk of infection [2,20,35,36,40]. The limited available data do not allow us to state whether antibiotics or adjuvant therapies are supportive or not for this condition.…”

“…It has been postulated that florid OD does not require surgical treatment unless complications occur such as infection of sclerotic bone masses. Treatment options are removal of the infected lesion and antibiotic therapy. However, in 1975, Waldron et al .…”

“…Only in cases of complications such as infection of sclerotic bone masses as can be found in florid OD, has surgical treatment been recommended. In the literature, there are several reports of painful OD without infection and especially if pain is present, surgical treatment might also be indicated to avoid the development of long‐term pain medication addiction.…”
