Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion with replacement of normal bone tissue by fibrous connective tissue. This case report presents an asymptomatic mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion in the posterior mandible of a 37-year-old female patient. Clinical and radiographic evaluation led to the diagnosis of focal cemento-ossifying dysplasia (FCOD) and regular radiographic follow-up was recommended as focal COD may progress to florid COD. The lesion was followed up for seven years with three examinations. During this time, the lesion remained asymptomatic and the associated tooth remained vital. An increase in the size of the internal hyperdense content was observed during the follow-up visits. The maturation process was well observed. A minimally increased expansion was also noted.
