Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign intramedullary fibroosseous lesion originally described by Lichtenstein in 1938 and by Lichtenstein and Jaffe in 1942. 1 This is a benign dysplastic process of altered osteogenesis that may occur within a single bone (monostotic) or multiple bones (polyostotic), 2 and is best understood as a dysplastic anomaly of bone forming mesenchymal tissue. 3 It is a spor...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibroosseous bone dysplasia that can involve single (monostotic) or multiple (polyostotic) bones. Monostotic form is more frequent in the jaws. It is termed as craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, when it involves, though rarely, adjacent craniofacial bones. A 16-year-old girl consulted for a painless swelling in the right posterior mandible for two years. Panoramic rad...

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone pathology and it can often go unnoticed due to its few symptoms.Despite being benign process, behave in aggressively by local growth, sometimes degenerate osteosarcoma. We report case of fibrous which atypical exclusive location the middle turbinate.The diagnostic therapeutic problems that this entails are raised.

.m ed kn ow A 49-year-old female was operated for left lateral orbital wall fibrous dysplasia 12 years back. The patient was having a relatively uneventful course till four months back when she started to have headache and noticed a swelling in the scalp which gradually increased in size over a period of time. On examination she had a mild proptosis of the left eye with a normal vision. There w...

An elderly male presented to the ENT, Outpatient Department at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital (ASH) with a mass on the left side of the face and lower jaw for 8 - 9 years. It was of a tennis ball size. No treatment was sought by him during those years. A diagnosis of benign fibro-osseous lesion of the mandible was made. Later the histopathology proved the same. he first occurrence in a male gender and...

Fibrous dysplasia is a disease which may be manifested in a single bone as tumefaction or a solitary cyst (monostotic type), in a region involving contiguous bones, or in a diffuse manner (polyostotic type), the latter possibly in association with endocrine and developmental disturbances. The condition is of interest to the neurological surgeon when the cranial or cranio-facial structures are i...

FIBROUS dysplasia is a peculiar clinical entity, which is of interest to the Otolaryngologist, because at times it involves one of the paranasal sinuses. Fibrous dysplasia of the bone is the name applied by Lichtenstein (1938) to a polyostotic or monostotic condition apparently due to a perverted activity of the specific bone-forming mesenchyme. It is most frequently localized in the femur, tib...

Eight cases of fibrous dysplasia having enchondroma-like areas (fibrocartilaginous dysplasia) are reported. Four patients were male, four were female. The patients' ages ranged from 8 to 18 years (mean = 11.3 years). In seven cases, the lesions were located at the proximal femur while one was at the tibial diaphysis. Histologically, large, well-defined, sharply demarcated islands of hyaline car...

BACKGROUND Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a developmental disease of bone in which there is replacement of normal spongiosa and filling of the medullary cavity of affected bones by an abnormal fibrous tissue that contains trabeculae of poorly calcified primitive bone formed by osseous metaplasia. Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign bone disease existing in monostotic and polyostotic forms. It is so...
