Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion progressing with one or more bone involvements in the skeleton. Even though it is a benign tumor, it may potentially transform into a malignant one. While the most frequently involved zones in the head-neck zone include the maxilla, mandible, parietal, occipital, and temporal zones, the involvement of the ethmoid bone is rather rare. This artic...

An unusual pervasive and persistent asymmetry in background rhythm was found on surface electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in a 22 year old with new onset of generalized seizure activity. Radiographic correlation with computed tomography, positron emission tomography and bone scan imaging uncovered that the higher amplitude left frontal-parietal background activity was related to a circums...

A 43 year old woman presented with two large bilateral tumours of the first ribs that compressed the right subclavian vessels, trachea and oesophagus and led to right arm oedema, severe dyspnoea and dysphagia. The resected tumours showed typical histological features of fibrous dysplasia without malignant transformation. The right tumour weighed 1.5 kg and measured 17 x 13 x 10 cm. This report ...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disease first described by Lichtenstein in 1938. It is characterized by progressive replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. When the disease involves craniofacial skeleton, it results in significant disfigurement and other functional problems. This paper reports a case of large craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involving zygomaticomaxilla...

AIM Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disorder of unknown etiology that may affect the craniofacial region causing significant impairment of facial esthetics and function. This paper reports a case of a 21-year-old male, which was investigated and diagnosed with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involving an overgrowth over right maxillary and mandibular region associated with facial asy...

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...

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a relatively uncommon disorder that affects primarily the cranial region; its occurrence in the cranial base in combination with hindbrain herniation and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) constitutes an extremely rare condition. We report a case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with progressive occipital, temporal, and clival involvement. Clinical findings and differential di...

A young male of Asian-Indian ethnicity reported with a complaint of a painless, slow growing swelling over the left side of lower jaw. A thorough clinical history was taken and detailed radiological exam performed. The conventional radiographic examination revealed a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion with unique appearances on different radiographs. Additional computed tomographic examination...

Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon benign disease of the bone, with slow progression. Monostotic involvement of the paranasal sinuses is rare. We report a 54year-old woman who had complaints of facial asymmet r y, chronic sinusitis, recurrent headaches, and nasal obstruction for two years. Conventional radiography showed opacification and expansion of the maxillary sinus. Axial and coronal comput...

A 26-year-old female patient suffered from intermittent back pain for 4 years and a fall from bicycle aggravated the symptom. Physical and imaging examinations revealed the diagnosis of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in McCune-Albright syndrome. No neurological symptom was found. A vertebral fracture was seen at the eighth thoracic body. Percutaneous kyphoplasty was performed at the fractured le...
