Due to the persistence of the symptoms, he received a computed tomography (CT) scan of the nasal sinus, revealing the existence of pansinusitis. Incidentally, a space-occupying bone lesion, hyperdense in the inferior turbinate, was identified (Figs...
متن کاملFibrous dysplasia of the inferior turbinate.
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign skeletal disorder in which abnormally overgrowing bony lesion replaces normal bone. FD can affect one bone (monostotic form) or multiple bones (polyostotic form). The craniofacial bones are involved in about 10% of subjects with monostotic FD. However, its occurrence in the sinonasal tract is very rare. We report a case of monostotic FD developed only in the i...

We present the case of a patient with craniofacial polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is relatively rare and usually presents in late childhood/early adulthood. It is occasionally associated with endocrine disorders such as McCune-Albright syndrome. The benign pathology of this bone tumor belies its implications in the region of the skull base. Craniofacial polyostotic...

It is usually asymptomatic and is an incidental finding. It may become symptomatic when complicat...
