| Abstract | Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is caused by the abnormal proliferation of fi brous tissue interspersed with normal or immature bone because of poorly diff erentiated, mutated osteoblasts. It is found in 3% of all bony tumors and in over 7% of all non-malignant tumors of bone. It can also be associated with hyperpigmentation and endocrinological disorders. Mutations in Gs-α of osteoblastic cells are implicated in the development of the disease. In this article, we report a case of monostotic FD in a 24-year-old male patient with a brief overview on FD and its pathogenesis. Clinical, radiographical, and histopathological features were the diagnostic evidence in this case. |
