Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous lesion with no apparent familial, hereditary or congenital basis. It is a non-neoplastic developmental hamartomatous disease of the bone, characterised by a blend of fibrous and osseous elements in the region. It constitutes 2.5% of all bony neoplasms and 7% of all benign bony neoplasm. The treatment can be either conservative or complete resection. Here we report a case of fibrous dysplasia in a 64-year-old male patient on the right side of the face.
