Description	Journal: Scandinavian journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery Fibrous dysplasia may affect the jaws as a monostotic lesion which most often ceases to be active at the end of normal bone growth. In some cases there is no stabilization on completion of normal skeletal growth. This may lead to severe malformation and functional disturbance to the face. In these cases, the patient must be followed regularly and resection of the deformed tissue must be performed repeatedly as the recurrences appear. Attention is also brought to the fact that fibrous dysplasia may be difficult to separate from chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, a condition that should be treated differently.
