Fibrous Dysplasia (FD) is a disorder of bone that occurs rarely in which abnormal fibro-osseous tissues is replaced by normal bone. Several bones are involved including the long bones, ribs, craniofacial bone and pelvis. Out of all the FD monostotic (MFD) is found in 30% cases which involved the facial and cranial bones. It often occurs in children and stops in adulthood. FD is twice more commonly seen in maxilla than in the mandible. In most of the cases of FD it is unilateral and is commonly seen in the posterior region of jaw.
