  1. Fibrous Dysplasia Jan M. Eckermann, MD Department of Neurosurgery

  2. Definition • Benign condition in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous connective tissue due to a defect in osteoblast differentiation and maturation

  3. Epidemiology • Incidence not known • Females > males • No race predilection • Initial symptoms manifest age 3-15 • Not heritable • Questionable genetic transformation • Malignant transformation in < 1%

  4. Variations • Cystic (21%) • Radiolucency surrounded by solid rim • Sclerotic (23%) • Dense and homogenous • Mixed (56%) • “Ground glass appearance”

  5. Variations, cont’d • Monostotic • Most common • 25% involve head and neck • Polyostotic • 15% of cases • 50% involve head and neck

  6. Whereyouat?

  7. Images • Left temporal bone involvement

  8. Images • Right temporal bone lesion

  9. Images

  10. Presentation • Local pain • Swelling • Abnormal pigmentation • CN compression • Spontaneous scalp hemorrhage • Part of McCune-Albright’s syndrome

  11. McCune-Albright’s Syndrome • Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia • Café-au-lait spots • Endocrinopathology: • Hyperthyroidism • Precocious puberty in females

  12. Imaging • Plain radiography is first line • Computed tomography for complex regions

  13. Histology • Fibroblasts within woven cancellous bone

  14. Whereyouat?

  15. Differential Diagnosis • Eosinophilic granuloma • Nonossifying fibroma • Bone hemangioma • Hyperparathyroidism • Paget’s disease • Brown’s tumor • Aneurysmal bone cyst

  16. Treatment • No available cure • Curettage • Cranioplasty • Calcitonin

  17. The One Slide To Remember • Genetic, non-heritable disorder • <1% transformation to malignancy • Treatment is curretage or cranioplasty
