Background: Although pituitary adenomas have been described in association with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in McCune-Albright Syndrome, no such relationship has been described with monostotic fibrous dysplasia. The authors describe a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid bone and concomitant pituitary adenoma in a 25-year-old male. To the authors’ knowledge this is the first s...

Fibrous dysplasia can be monostotic or, less commonly, polyostotic. The imaging features of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may closely mimic those of metastatic bone disease, Paget disease, or enchondromatosis (Ollier disease). We present a unique case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in a 57-year-old female with a medical history of enchondromas involving the proximal phalanges of the left hand...

INTRODUCTION Fibrous dysplasia is one of many well-known disorders in which there is a defect in the remodeling process of immature bone to mature into lamellar bone, and it often exists in metaphyseal and diaphyseal parts of the long bone. In this report, we describe a rare case where fibrous dysplasia was found only in the proximal part of the epiphysis of the tibia without other bony lesions...

Introduction Fibrous dysplasia is a non-hereditary disease of childhood, of unknown etiology, in which fibrous tissue replaces normal bone. There is a wide spectrum of involvement, from asymptomatic isolated bonelesions to severe debilitation and the rare Albright’s syndrome of osteitis fibrosa disseminata, hyperpigmented skin lesions and endocrine dysfunction (Albright et al. 1937). The follow...

Fibrous dysplasia is abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue interspersed with normal or immature bone. The records of 11 cases of fibrous dysplasia of paranasal sinuses with skull base involvement were reviewed. Six patients were polyostotic and 5 were classified as monostotic fibrous dysplasia. Four cases were managed endoscopically and only 1 patient had undergone right lateral craniotomy f...

normal bone marrow is replaced with fibro-osseous tissue. Patients are often asymptomatic, and fibrous dysplasia is often detected incidentally in patients with malignancy in whom F-fluoro-2deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (F -FDG PET/ CT) is performed for metastatic disease. PET/CT findings of fibrous dysplasia have been reported on several papers. The level of FDG uptake in fibrous ...

Fibrous dysplasia is a kind of benign bone lesion characterized by the manifestation of the replacement of the normal substance of bone by fibro-osseous connective tissue. A patient diagnosed fibrous dysplasia had unbearable pain in the left mandibular region only. To treat the patient, an navigation template was designed to guide the decompression of inferior alveolar nerve, and piezosurgery w...

A NUMBER of bone diseases may affect the orbital bones decreasing the orbital volume and narrowing the optic canal, giving rise to unilateral exophthalmos and usually optic atrophy, simulating clinically an orbital tumour. Among such diseases are osteitis deformans (Paget, 1876); leontiasis ossea (Virchow, 1896); osteopetrosis (Albers-Schonberg, 1904), and the generalized and localized osteitis...

Fibrous Dysplasia of bone is an uncommon congenital skeletal disorder that is found equally in both genders and is not inherited. Fibrous Dysplasia is characterized either monostotic or polyostotic, and may occur as a component of McCune Albright Syndrome or the rare Mazabraud Syndrome. Long bones, skull bones and ribs are most commonly affected bones. We present a case of a 18 years old boy ha...
