Abstract

Pycnodysostosis is a rare genetic disease that is characterized by osteosclerosis, short stature, and bone fragility. There are not cases of gnathic bones lesions reported on the international literature. This study aims to describe a clinical case of a 10-year-old girl with pycnodysostosis syndrome and an uncommon association with 4 distinct lesions (dentigerous cyst, central giant cell lesions, and 2 fibro-osseous lesions).
