Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) has been regarded as a developmental skeletal disorder characterized by replacement of normal bone with benign cellular fibrous connective tissue. It has now become evident that FD is a genetic disease caused by somatic activating mutation of the Gsα subunit of G proteincoupled receptor. Here we report a case of fibrous dysplasia in 35 years old male showing a classic histological picture, but radiologically presenting as a mixed radiolucent radiopaque lesion giving it a ground glass appearance.
