The objective of this study is to present a hereditary pattern of florid cemento‐osseous dysplasia. A 49‐year‐old female was diagnosed with familial florid cemento‐osseous dysplasia in 2008. Her identical twin daughters were referred for evaluation of mixed radio‐opaque/lucent lesions in both maxilla and mandible in 2009. Based on radiographic and histopathological findings, the lesions of the identical twins were diagnosed as early‐stage familial florid cemento‐osseous dysplasia. Microscopically, the tissue showed a mixture of woven trabeculae and cementum‐like calcification in the fibrous stroma. This study reports the first familial florid cemento‐osseous dysplasia in a mother and her identical twin daughters. Long‐term follow‐up is required to observe the progression of this disease.
