Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an asymptomatic local alteration of bone in which the typical architecture is replaced by fibrous tissues and nonfunctional trabeculae like osseous structures. The lesion most frequently affects the craniofacial skeleton. The maxilla is affected twice compared to the mandible and occurs more commonly in the posterior area. An unusual fibrous dysplasia involving a female's left craniofacial region is reported. The clinical features, radiological findings and treatment have been discussed. Bisphosphonate therapy may help improve function for treatment; surgery is indicated for biopsy for confirmed diagnosis.
