Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a very rare benign fibro-osseous lesion presenting in the jaws. The process may be totally asymptomatic and in such cases, the lesion is generally detected during routine radiographic examination unless an asymmetry or pain occurs. The etiology of the lesion is unknown. A 41-year-old Turkish woman was referred to our clinic with a complaint of pain in the left third molar region. Based on clinical, radiographic and histopathological evaluation the diagnosis was concluded as florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. The displaced impacted third molar was extracted because of pain and recontouring was performed after one year from the initial diagnosis. The pain and displaced impacted third molar are unusual findings for FCOD. When FCOD was diagnosed, cortical expansion should be followed vigilantly life time to prevent the complications of an excessive surgery
