ABSTRACT:
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a skeletal developmental disorder of the bone-forming mesenchyme that manifests as a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation. It is a lesion of unknown etiology, uncertain pathogenesis, and diverse histopathology. FD represents about 2%-5% of all bone tumors and over 7% of all benign tumours.

The histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of monostotic type of FD.
