Fibrous Dysplasia of the Temporal Bone Presenting with Vertigo

چکیده
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a slowly progressive, benign, chronic fibro-osseous tissue disease, which is characterized by abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue interspersed with normal or immature bone. In this report we describe a patient with monostotic fibrous dysplasia that involved temporal bone presenting with vertigo, and discuss diagnostic work-up, histopathology, and treatment options of the disease, reviewing the literature.

متن کاملFibrous Dysplasia of the Maxillofacial Region, a Review of 134 cases at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) belongs to a group of lesions known as fibro osseous lesions (FOL) whereby normal bone is replaced with fibrous tissue containing abnormal bone or cementum. FOL are the most frequent and the most difficult lesions to diagnose, as they share overlapping spectrum of clinicopathological, radiological, and immunological characteristics. In this retrospective study of 134 maxi...
