Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a nonneoplastic hamartomatous developmental fibro-osseous lesion, with anomaly in bone-forming mesenchyme which manifests as a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation leading to fibro-osseous tissue formation characterized by deformities in the bone, fractures, nerve compression, and bone pain. The clinical behavior and progression of FD make the management of this condition difficult. Here is a case report of a young male patient who was diagnosed as having craniomaxillofacial FD. The diagnosis was based on clinicoradiological and histopathological investigations. In this case, management of FD poses significant challenges to the surgeon.

Keywords: Bones; cranium; fibrous dysplasia; polyostotic.
