A CASE REPORT SERIES ON FIBROUS DYSPLASIA

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign lesion, congenital, recurrent character and etiology unknown,
caused by a bone modeling disorder with constant alterations of the normal bone being
replaced by immature fibrous tissue. It is classified according to the number of affected
bones, and its association to endocrine alterations, that is, monostotic (80–85%), polyostotic
forms (20–30%), and Albright's disease. they may involve one or more bones being the
maxilla the facial bone more affected. Fibro- osseous lesions diverse group process which
includes developmental, dysplastic, neoplastic. We report a series of three cases of
polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in a male patient two in maxilla and one in mandibular
complaining of increased volume on the right side of the face and lower border of the
mandible. In this case, Computed Tomography (CT) and Orthopantomograpgh (opg) was the
main radiographic examination to demonstrate the extension and radiodensity that the lesion
assumes in the craniofacial bones, being therefore of fundamental importance in the surgical
planning and in the longitudinal follow-up of the operated patient. The diagnosis was
confirmed later by anatopathology and the treatment of choice was osteoplasty.
