Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a disorder where normal bone and marrow is replaced with fibrous tissue, resulting in formation of bone that is weak and prone to expansion. FD can be manifested as a single lesion (monostotic) or as multiple lesions (oligostotic or polyostotic). The vast majority of clinically significant bone lesions are detectable by age 10 years, with few new and almost no clinically significant bone lesions appearing after age 15 years . In this report, we describe a rare case of fibrous dysplasia in an infant. A 6 month old child presented with complains of bony swelling over right tibia. Radiological examination revealed osteolytic lesion of proximal part of right tibia. In histopathology examination, typical Chinese pattern of trabeculae along with fibrous proliferation finally diagnose case as fibrous dysplasia. Fibrous dysplasia which is a rare entity in infantile age group should be kept as possible differential diagnosis for infants presenting as painless bony swelling with no possible explanation of etiology and early operative procedure with pathological examination must be done for early diagnosis and treatment.
