BACKGROUND Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal disease that results from somatic activating mutations in the gene GNAS in skeletal stem cells, leading to proliferation of immature osteogenic cells with replacement of normal marrow and bone with fibro-osseous tissue. Lesions may cause bone deformity or fracture. In the surgical care of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, the role of grafting ...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disorder in which the affected replaced by abnormal scar-like(fibrous) connective tissue. This fibrous tissue makes weak, abnormally fragile and proneto fracture. Pain may occur areas. condition was first described 1942 Lichtenstein andJaffe, also referred as Lichtenstein-Jaffe disease. Anyone can have FD it be diagnosed at any age. FDcan affect one (known ...

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.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disorder in which the normal structure of the bone and marrow is replaced by fibrous tissue1,2. It was first described by Lichtenstein in 19383 and it represents 5 to 7% of all benign bone tumors4,5. This lesion type can involve a single bone or multiple bones, in one-fourth of the cases being localized at the head and neck level2. In patients with skull involvemen...

A consensus on the clinical course of fibrous dysplasia has not yet emerged in the literature. We retrospectively evaluated 36 patients who were diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia in our institution and were followed for a mean duration of 56.5 months (range 7-210 months). Their mean age was 25.8 years (range 5-67 years); 46.7% were male. The most frequent presenting complaints were pain (66% of ...

We report on a 28-year-old man with severe headache. Imaging studies included CT and MR. A large sphenoid mucocoele was demonstrated as well as findings compatible with fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones. Both disorders had been previously unknown. Imaging findings suggested that the sphenoid mucocoele was related to an obstruction caused by the expansile bone of fibrous dysplasia. These fin...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disease of bone of unknown etiology. Its occurrence in the maxillo-facial region is frequent. Because of the benign nature of the condition, the surgery itself should be relatively conservative. Recently, bisphosphonates have shown progress in the treatment of patients with fibrous dysplasia. In the current case report, combination of enucleation and ...

Fibrous dysplasia involving the thoracic spine is very rare. This patient had monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the vertebral body, posterior elements, and right seventh rib with focal neurologic signs. The radiographic and bone scan findings are shown. The patient was treated successfully with tumor resection and arthrodesis using combined anterior and posterior approaches. Although fibro...

discussion in this patient we preferred following up. afterwards, total surgical lesion resection can be performed. after a long-term follow-up, the area may receive an implant. case presentation a 40-year-old female patient presented an opaque lesion at the left mandibular side of face, in a cone-beam computerized tomography (cbct) view, during the implant placement evaluations. the patient ha...
