Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone lesion characterized by the replacement of normal bone by fibrous tissue containing irregularly shaped bone trabeculae. It can involve single bones (monostotic) or multiple bones (polyostotic). The lesion is caused by a mutation in the GNAS1 gene leading to abnormal bone formation. Clinically, it presents as swelling or deformity and radiographically as a "ground-glass" opacity. Histologically, there are irregular bone trabeculae in a cellular fibrous stroma. Treatment involves surgery for functional or cosmetic reasons, while some severe cases may be treated with bisphosphonates. Malignant transformation is rare.

3. ABSTRACT
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign intramedullary fibro-osseous
lesion. FD is a bone developmental anomaly characterized by
replacement of normal bone and marrow bone by fibrous tissue.
It involves any of the bones as single lesion (monostotic) or in
multiple bone lesions (polyostotic) or all of the skeletal system
(panostotic). Long bones are most commonly involved, which
mostly identified incidentally and clinically appears
asymptomatic. Clinical, radiographical and histopathological
findings will help in confirming the lesion. There are many
treatment option available, but still management of FD remains
challenging.
4. Fibro-osseous lesions are a diverse group of processes that characterized by
replacement of normal bone by fibrous tissue containing a newly formed
mineralized product.
The commonly included fibro-osseous lesions are fibrous dysplasia (FD),
cemento-osseous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma.

9. DEFINITION
FD is a developmental tumor like a condition characterized by
replacement of normal bone by an excessive proliferation of cellular
fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular trabeculae.
A benign lesion, presumably developmental in nature, characterized by
the presence of fibrous connective tissue with a characteristic whorled
pattern and containing trabeculae of immature non lamellar bone.
(Waldron 1985)
Reeds definition : fibrous dysplasia is an arrest of bone maturation in
woven bone with ossification resulting from metaplasia of a non specific
fibro-osseous type
10. ETIOLOGY
Fibrous dysplasia is not hereditary in nature and it caused by mutation in
the GNAS1 (guanine nucleotide binding protein, alpha stimulating
activity polypeptide) gene and this gene encodes a G-protein which
results in overproduction of cAMP in the affected tissues.
Further more,there is increased the proliferation of melanocytes thus
results in cafe-au-lait spots.
The cAMP have effect on the differentiation of osteoblasts
11. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Bianco et al demonstrated that FD is a disease of bone marrow stromal cells
(BMSC)
The BMSCs form structural framework upon which hematopoiesis occurs
in the bone marrow and a subset of BMSC are multipotent stem cells
capable of differentiating into multiple cells including osteoblasts,
osteocytes, chondrocytes, bone marrow adipocytes and other cells.
In FD BMSC differentiate along osteogenic lineage, but differentiation is
arrested and instead undergo proliferation giving rise to fibro-osseous
masses of tissue.
Arrest in differentiation is by mutation in GNAs gene.

18. CLINICAL FEATURES
Fibrous dysplasia has three clinical patterns namely monostotic, polyostotic,
craniofacial form.
incidence of Fd 1:4000 to 1:10,000.(Young population)
About3% of lesions associated are ,with skin pigmentation and hyper-functioning
endocrine disorders known as the McCune–Albright syndrome.
FD in infancy is rare and heralds severe widespread disease with multi organ
involvement.
Pain, fracture and deformity are common clinical features.
19. The pain complaint is less in children and more in adults.
The skull base and proximal metaphysic of femoral, are two sites most
commonly involved.
In childhood in the skull, FD involves skull bases and facial bones.
FD presents as facial asymmetry or a bump, but symmetric expansion of
malar prominences and/or frontal bosses may be seen.
Due to abnormal growth and deformity of craniofacial bones may result in
encroachment on cranial nerves.
20. Female patients experience increased pain level during pregnancy
and during the menstrual cycle because of estrogen receptors found
in FD.
21. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia is diagnosed most often during the second and
third decades of life.
Males and females are affected with about equal frequency.
Commonly involved sites include the ribs, femur, and tibia, craniofacial bones,
humerus.
70% to 85% of patients with fibrous dysplasia have disease limited to a single
bone.
If it is occurring in craniofacial bones, Maxilla is affected more often than the
mandible.
There is a predilection for the posterior region.
MONOSTOTIC FIBROUS
DYSPLASIA
22. 25-year-old man with leontiasis ossea as a complication
of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
23. Painless, unilateral swelling is the most common clinical finding .
Growth is generally slow, and it is common for the patient to be
aware of the condition for several years before seeking professional
evaluation.
Occasionally, however, the growth may be fairly rapid.
Maxillary lesions often involve adjacent bones (eg. Zygoma
,sphenoid, occipital). These lesions are often called as craniofacial
fibrous dysplasia.
Adjacent teeth may be displaced by the bony mass but usually
remain firm.
24. Mandibular lesions often exhibit buccolingual expansion and bulging of the
inferior border.
There may be superior displacement of the inferior alveolar canal.
The classic radiographic finding is a fine “ground-glass”opacification with
poorly defined margins.
Periapical radiographs of the adjacent dentition may demonstrate narrowing of
the periodontal ligament space and an ill-defined lamina dura.
25. Involvement of two or more bones is termed as polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
Less common and more severe.
Sites- femur, tibia ,pelvis ,ribs, skull ,facial bones, upper extremity ,lumbar,
cervical
Age – before 10 years
Sex- female> male
The number of involved bones varies from a few to 75% of the entire
skeleton.
Patient usually complain of pain, pathologic fracture, limping, leg length
discrepancy, and bowing deformity.
26. Shepherd’s crook deformity - refers
to a distinctive abnormal contour of
the proximal femur in the setting of
fibrous dysplasia. As the bone
deforms the angle made between the
neck of the femur and shaft of the
bone.
RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES

margins of the lesion are not
well defined and blend into the

27. SYNDROMES ASSOCIATED
McCune-Albright syndrome, characterized by polyostotic
fibrous dysplasia, café au lait pigmentation, and multiple
endocrinopathies
Jaffe-Lichtenstein syndrome, characterized by polyostotic
fibrous dysplasia and café au lait (coffee with milk)
pigmentation.
Mazabraud syndrome, characterized by fibrous dysplasia and
intramuscular myxomas.

29. HISTOPATHOLOGIC FEATURES
Irregularly shaped trabeculae of immature (woven) bone in a cellular fibrous
stroma.
The lesional bone fuses with normal bone, without a capsule or line of
demarcation.
Abnormal bony trabeculae tend to be thin and disconnected, with curvilinear
shapes likened to Chinese characters.
Osteoblastic rimming is usually absent or minimal, and peritrabecular clefting

parallel trabeculae.

32. Microscopic variations include a pagetoid pattern (characterized by
thick, interconnected bone trabeculae) and a hypercellular pattern by
parallel bone trabeculae with numerous osteocytes and polarized
osteoblastic rimming).

well.

35. MALIGNANT TRANSFORMATION
Malignant transformation is rare about 0.4% - 4%.
Osteosarcoma

Chondrosarcoma
Malignant transformation may be more common in Mazabraud's syndrome
(FD in association with intramuscular myxomas).
Useful biomarkers such as serum ALP and urinary hydroxyproline can be
used to monitor response in nonsurgical treatment of the disease rather than
diagnosis.

36. TREATMENT
Conservative treatment-prevent deformity.
Management requires a multidisciplinary approach -polyostotic.
Bisphosphonate therapy may help to improve function, decrease pain,
& lower fracture risk -some patients.

aesthetics
