title: Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia.
abstract: Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia (GDD) is an orthopedic condition involving cemento-osseous lesions of jaw bones, sclerosis, bowing of tubular bones, and overall bone fragility. This is a case report of GDD in which an 18-year-old female presented with a several-year history of bony abnormalities of the jaw and long bones. Radiographs demonstrated endosteal thickening, bowing of long bones, and abnormalities of the skull. These findings, along with the patient's known maxillary region cementoma, led to a diagnosis of GDD.
