Fibrocartilaginous dysplasia is a variant of fibrous dysplasia showing extensive cartilaginous differentiation (enchondroma-like areas). The amount of cartilage varies from case to case. This has been reported more commonly in polyostotic disease. We present a 19 year old boy who presented with multifocal osteolytic lesions involving right femoral neck and lower end of left fibula. Curettage of...

The McCune-Albright syndrome was described as a syndrome of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café au lait skin pigmentation, and autonomous endocrine hyperfunction in 1937. We report a 17-year girl with early menarche and accelerated growth for the past three years. The endocrinological examination showed slight rise of growth hormone with other hormones in normal range. The CT showed an expansiv...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign skeletal disorder that can affect one bone (monostotic form) or multiple bones (polyostotic form). It is a non-inherited bone disease, in which abnormal differentiation of osteoblasts leads to replacement of normal marrow and cancellous bone by immature bone with fibrous stroma. It is often asymptomatic and incidentally detected on radiographs. We report this ...

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 ...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign skeletal disorder in which abnormally overgrowing bony lesion replaces normal bone. FD can affect one bone (monostotic form) or multiple bones (polyostotic form). The craniofacial bones are involved in about 10% of subjects with monostotic FD. However, its occurrence in the sinonasal tract is very rare. We report a case of monostotic FD developed only in the i...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibroosseous lesion characterised by the replacement of normal bone by excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue which is slowly replaced by bone, osteoid, or cementum-like material. It causes bone pain, deformities, and pathological fractures. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a sporadic benign skeletal disorder that can affect one bone (monostotic for...

Recklinghousen in 1891 were not examples of osteitis fibrosa generalisata and hence of hyperaparathyroidism, but were suffering from "polyostotic fibrous dysplasia." The book concludes with an account of Paget's disease, vith an ingenious, if not very satisfactory, attempt to explain its pathological physiology. It, however, has some useful points in treatment, one or two glasses of milk daily ...

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of bone that is uncommon in the head and neck region. Herein, we present a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the right temporal bone and thyroid cartilage in a 19-year-old male. This unique location necessitates close surveillance due to the proximity to the airway and the potential for malignant degeneration. DOI : 10.14302/issn.2379-8572...
