Aetiology : unknown
Female>male
Bone may be affected
– Pelvis
– Femur
– Skull
– Spine/vertebral collapse unusual
Usually found incidentally/ follow pathological
fracture
Onset : 10-30 yr old or first decade
Prognosis : worse when lesion occurs early in life
Pathology
Location
– Diametaphyseal
– Bone end may be involved after fusion
– In child may Involve epiphysis
Found in 2 form:
1. Poliostotic
50% skeleton may be involved
Asimetri & distributed unilateral
2. Monostotic
More likely to enlarge in adult life
Radiologycal Features
Margin
– Smooth dense
– Well define
– Expanded the bone
Cortex scalloped & thinned but intact
– Tend to be multilocular
– Expand down the medulla rather than
cause cortical expansion
Various degree of central ossification
FD in the Proximal Femur.
Fig. 35.48. A
multilocular, partly
cystic, expansile lesion
of the midshaft tibia is
surrounded by a thick rim
of reactive sclerosis.
Polycystic case of FD
Fig. 35.51.(A) marked enlargement and deformity of the pelvis and proximal
femur. There is marked bony expansion with extensive cyst formation. The shepherd's
crook deformity has been stabilised. (B) The CT scan shows the mixed pattern of
tissues seen in fibrous dysplasia, ranging from cystic through ground-glass to heavily
mineralised tissue.
Fibrous dysplasia.
(A) There is thickening with sclerosis of the frontal bone, the floor
of the anterior cranial fossa and the base of the skull extending
back to the sphenoid sinus, which is replaced by dense amorphous
bone. (B) The CT scan shows expanded and abnormally mineralised
bone occupying mainly the left side of the skull base. Considerable
facial deformity is present.

Well define, expansion to the cortex (cortex
thin, scalloped, but intact)
