MONOSTOTIC FIBROUS DYSPLASIA PRESENTING IN MAXILLA:A CASE REPORT

| Summary: | Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a bone disorder in
which fibrous tissue replaces normal bone. FD can be
monostotic (10%–25%) or polyostotic (50–90%) and
is typically diagnosed accidentally on radiographs.
Craniofacial lesions are typically unilateral and are
diagnosed by clinical assessment and radiographic
evaluation. This report describes the case of a 50-yearold
female patient who had presented with painless
swelling of the right maxilla and was diagnosed
with FD. Subsequent bone scintigraphy identified
the lesion as monostotic. Based on the patient’s age
and the radiographic data, contour correction was
performed. However, 1 year after surgery, the lesion
regrew and the treatment was repeated. |
