The association of fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxoma is a rare disease known as Mazabraud's syndrome. Both lesions tend to occur in the same anatomical region. The relationship between fibrous dysplasia and myxoma remains unclear, where an underlying localized error in tissue metabolism has been proposed to explain this occasional coexistence. Another example of this syndrome in a 52 y...

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...

Clinical, endocrinological and computed tomographic features of three patients with unusual manifestations or complications of craniofacial involvement of fibrous dysplasia are presented. One patient with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia presented in late pregnancy with acute onset of bilateral optic nerve compression and blindness secondary to a rapidly expanding mass of fibrous dysplasia tissue ...

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...

We report the case of a 25-year-old Caucasian woman with symptomatic monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the fourth lumbar vertebral body. The patient suffered from a five-week history of progressive low back pain, radiating continuously to the left leg. Her medical history and physical and neurological examination did not demonstrate any significant abnormalities. Radiographs, computed tomography ...
