In this study, the efficacy of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of craniospinal involvement with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) in McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) and related complications were reviewed. In CT, ground-glass appearance with well-defined borders was seen, with medullary widening and cortical thinning. More rarely, cystic/necrotic...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is categorized as either monostotic or polyostotic and may occur as a component of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). Imaging findings can mimic neoplastic diseases. We present a case of MAS initially suspected to have neoplastic disease. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to pediatric emergency with ataxia. Upon hospitalization, an extradural mass was seen on cranial magnetic r...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone lesion of unknown etiology. Bone involvement usually is solitary (monostotic). Multiple forms (polyostotic) associated with extra skeletal symptoms, particularly cutaneous pigmentation, endocrine dysfunction and precocious puberty is called McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). We report the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with left mandibular body expansion...

Proximal femur is often involved with varus and retroversion deformity in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD). Multiple corrective osteotomies with intramedullary nails in two stages is recommended procedure as some authors described. We report a case using double-level osteotomy and one-stage reconstruction with intramedullary nail in a patient with painful proximal femur and diaphysis varus d...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is sometimes accompanied by extraskeletal manifestations that can include any combination of café-au-lait macules, hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies, such as gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty, hyperthyroidism, growth hormone excess, FGF23-mediated renal phosphate wasting, and/or Cushing syndrome, as well as other less common features. The combination of any of t...
