Gigantic monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the right humerus. A plea for advice on management

B T O'Connor et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg (1978). 1980.

Abstract

A case of enormous enlargement and destruction of the right humerus is reported in a middle aged, right-handed, skilled manual worker. The tumour is cosmetically very ugly but right upper limb function is good. Advice from readers on the management of this case is honestly and thankfully requested, particularly information on what might be done should functional deterioration force us to undertake surgery.
