Abstract
Objective
The aim of the study was to report the clinical characteristics, radiological imaging
methods, and management of patients with fibrous dysplasia.
Materials–Methods
A retrospective review of 12 patients. Distribution of the cases according to the
clinical and radiological features was described.
Results
The age range was from 9 to 55. Sphenoid bone was the most common involved area in
our cases. Simple cystic degeneration was observed in three cases and aneurysmal bone
cyst in one case.
Conclusion
Radiologic findings are characteristic but not pathognomonic. Our management is to
follow nonsymptomatic cases or surgical intervention to stop progression of a lesion
or to resolve compression symptoms.
