Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC) is a rare autosomal dominant, benign fibro-cemento-osseous lesion of the jaws that can cause severe facial deformity. True FGC with familial history is extremely rare and there has been no literature regarding the radiological follow-up of FGC. We report a case of recurrent FGC in an Asian female child who has been under our observation for 6 years since she was 15 months old. After repeated recurrences and subsequent surgeries, the growth of the tumor had seemed to plateau on recent follow-up CT images. The transition from an enhancing soft tissue lesion to a homogeneous bony lesion on CT may indicate decreased growth potential of FGC.
