Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a controversial fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws. Literature regarding the subject has been briefly reviewed illustrating the wide range of opinions as to the tissue of origin, biological nature and nomenclature. This is the first reported case in a Hispanic individual. The report is presented to review the histopathologic similarity of this lesion to other fibro-osseous lesions, the importance of radiological interpretation in terms of differential diagnosis and its significance in avoiding overtreatment and the complication of osteomyelitis.
