Fibrous dysplasia of the maxilla.
Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of the bone. It is seen in 2 main forms of presentation, monoostotic and the polyostotic form with café au lait spots and precocious puberty (McCune-Albright syndrome). Most of the cases present in the first 2 decades of life, and the lesions are rare in infants (Joseph E, Kachara R, Bhattacharya RN, et al. Fibrous dysplasia of the orbit in an infant. Pediatr Neurosurg 2000; 32: 205-208). Herein, we present a rare case of fibrous dysplasia in an infant.
