Abstract:

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare benign bone tumor. It has the potential to demonstrate malignant transformation. Fibrous dysplasia occurs when normal bone tissue is replaced by fibrous tissue. The most common locations in the maxillofacial region are the maxilla and mandible. Fibrous dysplasia is divided into monostotic and polyostotic forms. If involvement is observed in more than one bone, it is called polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, if involvement is observed in a single bone, it is called monostotic fibrous dysplasia. Monostotic type fibrous dysplasia accounts for 75% of cases. There are many syndromes in which polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is seen. The best known of these are McCune Albright syndrome, Jaffe-Lichtenstein syndrome and Mazabraud syndrome.
