Abstract
Fibrous Dysplasia is a non-neoplastic developmental disease of bone, which is manifested as a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation. It appears in three forms namely monostotic (single bone involvement), polyostotic (multiple bone involvement) and craniofacial forms. Of the craniofacial bones, Maxilla is affected more commonly than mandible. The present paper discusses a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of maxilla. It was diagnosed based on clinical, radiological and histopathological investigations. The osseous recontouring was done and he is under followup without any recurrence.
