Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a developmental anomaly of bone characterized by hamartomatous proliferation of fibrous tissue within the medullary bone, with secondary bony metaplasia, producing immature, newly formed and weakly calcified bone, without maturation of the osteoblast.1 May involve one or several bones and consists of one or more foci of fibro osseous tissue within the matrix of the affected bone. Patient presents with bone pain, deformities & pathologic fractures according to the site of involvement. FD usually manifests before the 3rd decade of life and is uncommon beyond that age.
