Abstract :Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a bone disorder in which fibrous tissue replaces normal bone. FD can be monostotic (10%–25%) or polyostotic (50–90%) and is typically diagnosed accidentally on radiographs. Craniofacial lesions are typically unilateral and are diagnosed by clinical assessment and radiographic evaluation. This report describes the case of a 50-year old female patient who had presented with painless swelling of the right maxilla and was diagnosed with FD. Subsequent bone scintigraphy identified the lesion as monostotic. Based on the patient’s age and the radiographic data, contour correction was performed. However, 1 year after surgery, the lesion regrew and the treatment was repeated.Keywords : Fibrous displasia, monostotic, maxilla
