Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia: A case report and Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental tumor like condition that is characterized by replacement of normal bone by excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabeculae. Fibrous dysplasia is a benign, relatively common disease distinct from other fibro-osseous lesions. It causes bone pain, deformities & pathologic fracture. In most cases, the disease affects only one bone i.e. monostotic type, however, multiple bones can be involved i.e. polyostotic type. When the monostotic type occurs in the craniofacial region, it is called craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD). Here we discuss a case of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia.
