Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign developmental disorder that affects the craniofacial bones among mandibular and characterized by enlargement as result of bone being replaced abnormal fibrous tissue growth. Two types, monostotic or polyostotic lesions, cause progressively expanding lamp, producing cosmetic deformities functional impairments. Frequently occurs in posterior region mand...

Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disease characterized by abnormal differentiation of fibrous tissue in the bones; it is often asymptomatic. It may affect one bone (monostotic) or several bones (polyostotic). The monostotic form primarily affects the ribs, but hardly ever affects the hand. It is important to make the differential diagnosis with malignant bone tumors. This article describes the treat...

A 37-year-old woman with a fibrous polyostotic dysplasia (FPD) of the left femur, tibia and foot was diagnosed at 11 years of age. At the onset she presented mechanical pain of the left hip and later a stress fracture of the femur for which she was treated with surgery, pamidronate and zolendronate. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Phosphocalcic metabolism was normal. X-rays (Fig. 1) showeda ...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disorder that most commonly affects craniofacial bones; one or multiple adjacent bones can be involved which can severely deform the skull base. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage in combination with extensive craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is an extremely rare condition that leads to complicated skull base deformation and possible neurovascular structure impingement...

EDITOR—Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous condition that may involve one or more bones in the cranial and extracranial skeleton. There are four main types of fibrous dysplasia: monostotic in which only one bone is aVected; polyostotic in which multiple bones are aVected; McCune-Albright syndrome (MIM 174800), a polyostotic form accompanied by pigmentation lesions and endocrine dysfunct...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion progressing with one or more bone involvements in the skeleton. Even though it is a benign tumor, it may potentially transform into a malignant one. While the most frequently involved zones in the head-neck zone include the maxilla, mandible, parietal, occipital, and temporal zones, the involvement of the ethmoid bone is rather rare. This artic...

Fibrous dysplasia represents about 5% of benign bone lesions; however, the true incidence is unknown, as many patients are asymptomatic. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia accounts for 75-80% of the cases. It is caused by gene mutation [1,2]. Fibrous dysplasia is a slowly growing lesion that usually appears during periods of bone growth and is thus seen in those in early teen and adolescent years. Po...
