SUMMARY
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is commonly seen in black women, but few cases have been reported in sub-Saharan Africa. This article presents two cases of FCOD seen at the University College Hospital Ibadan.
Two women aged 70 and 60 years were initially diagnosed as chronic osteomyelitis but both were eventually diagnosed as florid cemento-osseous dysplasia after radiological examination by orthopanthomogram.
Diagnosis of florid cement- osseous dysplasia is possible by clinical examnination and the distinct readiological presentation, especially on orthopanthomogram and a biopsy may not be required.
