Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the maxilla and mandible: report of case.
The case presented here represents an aggressive form of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Because of lack of evidence to substantiate precocious puberty and abnormal pigmentation, Albright syndrome cannot be established. Because of the nature of this disease, its clinical course and prognosis are unpredictable. However, it is believed that continued growth of the lesion may necessitate additional surgery.
