Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the tibia.
The authors present a case report documenting the evaluation of monostotic fibrous dysplasia by magnetic resonance imaging. This type of evaluation demonstrates specificity for this disease process when combined with other imaging studies, laboratory findings, and clinical presentation. This technique is extremely useful in the identification of a no-touch lesion, allowing avoidance of an unnecessary bone biopsy.
