Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign bone lesion; it is a disorder of bone development in which cancellous bone is replaced by fibrous tissue. Although fibrous dysplasia can involve any bone in the body, vertebral involvement is quite rare. We report a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the sixth cervical vertebrae transverse process that treated by gross resection. A 32-year-old man complained of persistent, dull cervical pain for 2 months. Pre-operative CT scan demonstrated a neoplasm located at the cervical transverse process and expanded into surrounding soft tissues. After gross recetion, complete pain relief without any complication was experienced.
