5. FIBROUS DYSPLASIA
• DYS- “bad” + PLASIS – “formation
( the presence of cells of an abnormal type within
a tissue)
• replacement of the normal lamellar cancellous
bone by abnormal fibrous tissue.
6. PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY
• Defect in Osteoblast differntiation & maturation.
• Replacement of normal bone & marrow by
fibrous tissue & small woven spicules of bone
weak & prone to expansion
• Females > Males
• Age group- 3-15 yrs (Initial Manifestation)
• GNAS1 Mutation
8. Natural history
• Polystotic FD is more aggressive than
monostotic FD.
• The lesions usually progress in number till the
end of skeletal maturation, by then they
become quiescent
• In only about 5% of cases it continue to
enlarge after that.
9. HOW IT LOOKS ON XRAY
• Geographical lytic lesions in
medullary canal (diaphysis or
metaphysis)
• May have cortical thinning
with expansile lesion.
• Highly lytic lesions or a ground
glass appearance
13. Shepherd's crook deformity
• Coxa varus angulation of the proximal femur,
classically seen in femoral involvement by fibrous
dysplasia, although may be seen in other disorders
such as Paget disese of bone and osteogenesis
imperfecta.
• The shape of the proximal femur resembles that of
the staff carried by herders (shepherds), which is
known as a crook.

19. TREATMENT
- Monostotic lesions
- Asymptomatic Lesion------- OBSERVATION
• - Bisphosphonate therapy
Indications
– Symptomatic polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
Effective in decreasing pain and reducing bone
turnover
UMY
20. OPERATIVE
Indications : Severe deformity
Persistent pain
Pathological #
• INTERNAL FIXATION & BONE GRAFTING
( NEVER AUTOGRAFT ?????????)
COXA VARA - OSTEOTOMY
21. NON OSSIFYING FIBROMA
Non-ossifying Fibroma (NOF) is a benign fibrogenic lesion
that is the most common benign bone tumor in childhood
Also called
Fibrous cortical defect
Metaphyseal cortical defect
• Symptoms
• Asymptomatic and found incidentally
• Painless
• May present with pathologic fracture
