Abstract
In this long term follow-up report, we presented a case of fibrous dysplasia of the left maxillo-facial region in a 4 year-old girl. The operation was performed 4 times (1st-Jun, 20, 1978. 2nd-Aug, 5, 1981. 3 rd-Jul, 28, 1986. 4 th-Aug, 3, 1988.) within the observation of 11 years follow-up.
In the peak of her school age growth, the elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase and remarkable transformation of maxillo-facial region were observed.
1 year has passed since the 4 th operation and the prognosis is favorable without any relapse tendency. However, from the nature of this disease we don't judge this case cured, it needs observation until adulthood is attained.
