Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a Benign Fibro-Osseous disorder, characterized by fibrous connective tissue containing abnormal bone which replaces normal bone. It represents 2.5% of all bone lession and 7% of all benign tumors. It is a lesion of unknown etiology, uncertain pathogenesis, and diverse histopathology. Fibrous dysplasia can involve multiple bones (Polyostotic) or a single bone (Monostotic). Most commonly it affects younger age groups, with a higher prevalence in the Maxilla than the Mandible. Skull involvement is only about 15% with the majority of it being Monostatic. Here we report a case of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia in a 40-year-old female patient whose diagnosis was based on clinical findings and radiographic imaging. Keywords:Computed tomography, Craniofacial, Fibro Osseous Lesion, Fibrous Dysplasia, Maxilla.
