ABSTRACT: Background: Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon skeletal disorder in which normal bone
and marrow are replaced with fibro-osseous tissue. The disease comprises 2.5%
of all bone tumors and 7.5% of all benign bone neoplasm. It is the progressive,
slowly developing disease and the optimum treatment remains unclear in many
cases. Aim: In this study, the authors report their experience in the
surgical treatment of four cases of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. Cases
presentation: The study involved 4 patients with craniofacial fibrous
dysplasia. There were 3 men and a woman. The patients were 10, 17, 20 and 8
years old. No patient had a focal neurological deficit. The CT scan appearance
was compatible with Fibrous dysplasia in all patients. The site of disease was
frontal in one case and parietal in the other 3 cases. Cosmetic surgical
treatment was performed in all patients. Cranioplasty was performed in one
patient and planned for the other three. Conclusion: Fibrous Dysplasia
is a benign slow growing disease that may cause as well as clinical symptom and
aesthetical discomfort. Radical resection, if possible, is the only technique
to obtain resolution of the disease.
