Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia of the bone is a lesion of unknown aetiology, uncertain pathology, diverse histology, which although is not strictly a neoplasm but behaves like one. It is a developmental derangement of bones caused by an aberrant activity of bone forming mesenchymal tissue resulting in abnormal proliferation of undifferentiated mesenchymal bone forming cells. The bony lesion exhibits general histologic features of fibrosis with varying degree of simultaneous resorption and repair. The aim of this case report is to discuss the clinical and radiological features of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of mandible.
