Abstract

Three cases of gross craniofacial polyostotic fibrous dysplasia are presented, together with a brief review of the condition, and pertinent points regarding the cases are discussed. As complete excision of the lesion and immediate reconstruction is rarely feasible or possible, and partial excision may result in accelerated growth of the lesion during the patient's active growth phase, resection only to protect, maintain or restore certain important functions (e.g. vision) during this period are advocated, after which close follow-up is mandatory until the lesion becomes quiescent, when further surgical procedures may be undertaken.
