Abstract

This is a case report of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia developed in the craniofacial region of 21 year old male patient, who had complained the buccolingual expansion of left mandibular body area, malocclusion and facial asymmetry. We could achieve satisfactory results by radical resection of the relatively well defined small lesion of mandible and by cosmetic bone shaving procedure on the widely dispersed and poorly defined lesions of cranium. But the persistent growth and recurrence of the lesions may produce loss of hearing, visual difficulties, facial paralysis and anosmia, and as it is a polyostotic type occured in the craniofacial region of male patient, the possibility of malignant degeneration should not be excluded completely and periodic recall and check up will be necessary.
