Abstract
We present the case report of a diabetic 51-year-old male, who presented with painless mobilization of the superior incisor teeth. The X-ray study showed osteolysis, without any soft tissue mass, in craniofacial and orbital bones. In the control X-ray studies performed during the 2 years’ evolution, a progressive increase in the intensity and extension of the osteolysis was observed. The diagnosis of progressive idiopathic osteolysis is one of exclusion, based mainly on clinico-radiological findings, evolution and compatible histological findings.
