We report on a 28-year-old man with severe headache. Imaging studies included CT and MR. A large sphenoid mucocoele was demonstrated as well as findings compatible with fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones. Both disorders had been previously unknown. Imaging findings suggested that the sphenoid mucocoele was related to an obstruction caused by the expansile bone of fibrous dysplasia. These fin...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disease of bone of unknown etiology. Its occurrence in the maxillo-facial region is frequent. Because of the benign nature of the condition, the surgery itself should be relatively conservative. Recently, bisphosphonates have shown progress in the treatment of patients with fibrous dysplasia. In the current case report, combination of enucleation and ...

Fibrous dysplasia involving the thoracic spine is very rare. This patient had monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the vertebral body, posterior elements, and right seventh rib with focal neurologic signs. The radiographic and bone scan findings are shown. The patient was treated successfully with tumor resection and arthrodesis using combined anterior and posterior approaches. Although fibro...

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...

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 (FD) is a rare bone disorder in which the affected replaced by abnormal scar-like(fibrous) connective tissue. This fibrous tissue makes weak, abnormally fragile and proneto fracture. Pain may occur areas. condition was first described 1942 Lichtenstein andJaffe, also referred as Lichtenstein-Jaffe disease. Anyone can have FD it be diagnosed at any age. FDcan affect one (known ...

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...

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 a rare bone disease wherein the normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue causing functional and aesthetic problems. They pose difficulty in diagnosis, treatment planning. Case Report: We are presenting 2 cases of Fibrous Dysplasia wherein the treatment done was resection of body of mandible with reconstruction with iliac graft in the first case and a shave do...
