717 ibrous dysplasia is a developmental anomaly that can affect any bone in the body. The skull and facial bones are the affected sites in 10–25% of patients with monostotic fibrous dysplasia and in 50% of patients with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Conventional radiographic findings reveal characteristics of fibrous dysplasia. CT findings also show characteristics of fibrous dysplasia and con...

Introduction: Fibrous Dysplasia is a rare bone disease wherein the normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue causing functional and aesthetic problems. They pose difficulty in diagnosis, treatment planning. Case Report: We are presenting 2 cases of Fibrous Dysplasia wherein the treatment done was resection of body of mandible with reconstruction with iliac graft in the first case and a shave do...

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...

Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in fibrous dysplasia is exceedingly rare, especially in the skull and particularly in the frontal bone. We present a case of aneurysmal bone cyst concomitant with fibrous dysplasia in the frontal bone in a 15-year-old male patient presenting with headache and euphoria with an uncharacteristic imaging appearance and treated successfully by total resection.

Since Coley and Stewart (1945) recorded two cases of sarcomatous change in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, there have been a further twelve reported cases ofmalignant change occurring in patients with fibrous dysplasia (Table I). Eight ofthese occurred in patients with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and, of these, three were in patients with Albright’s syndrome. Of the other six patients, in five...

Whole-body bone scans and whole body (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic/computed tomographic scans are sensitive for detecting bone metastasis in patients with breast cancer. However, it is often difficult to discriminate between bone metastasis and other nonmalignant bone lesions. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder characterized by the osteoid medullary cavity...

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 ...

Neurofibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia show the presence of café-au-lait spots, bone lesions, and endocrinopathies. There has been speculation whether neurofibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia are different manifestations of the same disease or if these conditions are in some way related. We provide a case of whether neurofibromatosis and fibrous dysplasia complicated by hyperparathyroidism and ...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a condition characterized by excessive proliferation of bone forming mesenchymal cells which can affect one bone (monostotic type) or multiple bones (polyostotic type). It is predominantly noticed in adolescents and young adults. Fibrous dysplasia affecting the jaws is an uncommon condition. The most commonly affected facial bone is the maxilla, with facial asymmetry b...

Fibrous dysplasia has been regarded as a developmental skeletal disorder characterized by replacement of normal bone with benign cellular fibrous connective tissue. It has now become evident that fibrous dysplasia is a genetic disease caused by somatic activating mutation of the Gsalpha subunit of G protein-coupled receptor resulting in upregulation of cAMP. This leads to defects in differentia...
