Fibrous dysplasia of the clivus, a case report
Introduction Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of the clivus, first described by Lichtenstein in 1938, is a very rare developmental, non-hereditary disorder caused by abnormal proliferation and maturation of fibroblasts resulting in replacement of mature bone by weak and immature bone.
متن کاملMonostotic fibrous dysplasia of the clivus: imaging findings.
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an uncommon benign disorder of unknown etiology. It most likely represents a disorder of normal bone development. The disease can involve any bone in the body. In the head and neck, the skull and facial bones are involved in 10-25% of cases of monostotic FD. Involvement of the clivus in monostotic FD is extremely unusual, and has rarely been reported previously. The di...
متن کاملMonostotic Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Report
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibro-osseous bone disease of unknown etiology and uncertain pathogenesis. When bone maturation is completed, indicating the occurence of stabilization is a strong evidence of mechanism. The lesion frequently affects the craniofacial skeleton. The maxilla is affected twice comparing mandible and occurs more frequently in the posterior area. In this case, a 16 ...
متن کاملMonostotic fibrous dysplasia (a case report).
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the bone that commonly affects the jaws with a higher prevalence in the maxilla than the mandible. It is a lesion of unknown etiology, uncertain pathogenesis, and diverse histopathology. Fibrous dysplasia can involve multiple bones (polyostotic) or a single bone (monostotic). It represents about 2 to 5% of all bone tumors and over 7% of all ...
متن کامل[Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: a case report].
Fibrous dysplasia is classified among benign bone tumors. It is a bone development anomaly characterized by hamartoma proliferation of fibrous tissue within the medullary bone, with secondary bony metaplasia, producing immature, newly formed and weakly calcified bone, without maturation of the osteoblast. It can be monostotic or polyostotic. The craniofacial localization occurs in 10%-25% of ca...
