Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental deformity of bone in which there is an abnormal proliferation of bone forming mesenchyme. It is a disease of unknown etiology and diverse histopathology. The disease can involve single bone (mono-ostotic) or many bones (poly-ostotic). In the head and neck region, Mono-ostotic forms frequently involve the maxilla and mandible. We are presenting one such case which presented to our department which was surgically sculpted by the Caldwell Luc approach
