Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal developmental anomaly of bone-forming mesenchyme that manifests as a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation. It is one of the most perplexing diseases of osseous tissue because it is a nonhereditarydisorder of unknown cause. Here we present a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla of a 12-year-old girl.
