The presence of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, hyperpigmented skin macules, and precocious sexual development in children is known as the McCune-Albright syndrome. In addition to the described in McCune-Albright syndrome, other endocrinopathies have been reported including hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, Cushing syndrome and vitamin D resistant rickets. The case describes a 6-year-old boy showing bony deformities due to polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, hyperpigmented skin macules, hyperthyroidism and vitamin D resistant rickets. The purpose of this report is to describe a patient of McCune-Albright syndrome with vitamin D resistant rickets which is very rare.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is characterized by a triad of poly/monostotic fibrous dysplasia, caf$\acute{e}$-au-lait macules and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies including human growth hormone excess. Acromegaly as a manifestation of endocrine hyperfunction with MAS is uncommon. Surgical excision may be challenging due to the associated severe fibrous dysplasia of the skull base. Through the endoscopic procedures, we treated a case of MAS presenting with compressive optic neuropathy due to fibrous dysplasia and acromegaly caused by growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma. We reviewed the literature on GH excess in MAS to highlight its surgical and medical challenges.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a disease with clinical features such as fibrous dysplasia in which normal bone tissue is replaced with abnormal fibrous tissue, abnormalities in the endocrine system, and cafe-au-lait spots on the skin. Although MAS patients are generally known to have reduced bone healing ability, postoperative healing after invasive surgical extraction is still not clearly known due to its relatively rare occurrence. In this report, a 25-year-old female patient, who had been diagnosed with MAS and had a history of abnormal bone healing after fractures of her extremities, underwent surgical extraction of the mandibular third molar with surrounding bone removal. Postoperatively, the patient showed favorable soft tissue and bone healing at the surgical site without abnormal findings such as newly developed fibro-osseous lesions, postoperative infection, or osteomyelitis.

섬유성 골이형성증은 비정상적인 섬유성 골조직으로 대체되며 느리게 진행하는 골병변이다. 섬유성 골이형성증과 부갑상선기능항진증은 흔하게 관찰되는 질환이나 McCune-Albright 증후군 없이 일차성 부갑상선기능항진증에 동반된 섬유성 골 이형성증은 거의 보고된바가 없다. Tc-99m MDP 골스캔이 섬유성 골이형성증의 진단에 유용하다고 알려져 있으나, Tc-99m MIBI 영상은 아직 보고된 바가 없다. 저자들은 McCune-Albright 증후군이 없이 부갑상선기능항진증에 동반된 섬유성 골 이형성증의 Tc-99m MIBI 스캔과 Tc-99m MDP 골스캔의 영상을 비교하였다. Tc-99m MDP 골스캔상 병변 부위에서 증가된 섭취 소견을 보였으며, Tc-99m MIBI 조기영상에서도 동일한 위치에서 섭취증가가 관찰되었다. 2시간 지연 Tc-99m MIBI 영상에서는 Tc-99m MIBI의 섭취가 배출되는 소견을 보였다. 섬유성 골이형성증 병변에서 Tc-99m MIBI 스캔이 유용할 것이라고 생각하며, 섬유성 골이형성증 병변에서 Tc-99m MIBI의 섭취를 증가시키는 인자에 대한 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

Purpose: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is caused by activating mutations in the GNAS gene, resulting in peripheral precocious puberty, caf$\acute{e}$-au-lait spots, and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (POFD). The aim of the present study was to describe the diverse clinical and endocrine characteristics of patients with MAS. Methods: Seven patients with MAS were included in this study and medical charts were reviewed retrospectively for following parameters: patient's sex and age at diagnosis, POFD, ovarian cysts, and precocious puberty. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was $5.8{\pm}4.2$ years. One patient was male (14%) and the other six patients were female (86%). Peripheral precocious puberty was associated with 6 patients (86%). Five patients manifested premature menarche as early as 2 to 5 years of age. Letrozole was administered to 4 patients, tamoxifen to one patient and GnRH agonist to one patient. Five females developed ovarian cysts. Thyroid function tests were performed in all patients and one patient showed hyperthyroidism (14%) and has been treated with methimazole. One patient presented with pseudohypoparathyroisdism, phosphaturia, calciuria suggesting hypophosphatemic rickets. Six patients (86%) revealed POFD. One patient had symptoms of optic nerve compression and secondary esotropia and 2 patients had bone pain. Conclusion: This study described clinical characteristics and endocrine complications of patients with MAS. Careful physical examinations with history taking and serial endocrine function tests should be needed to detect complications such as endocrinologic hyperfunction and POFD.

본 증례에서는 MAS 환자의 치과적인 특성에 관하여 논하였다. 본 환아는 현재 특히 하악 우측골의 팽융과 안면 비대칭 소견을 보이고 있었으며 치아의 교모, 변위, 맹출 지연, 맹출 경로 이상 등의 특징을 보이고 있었다. MAS 환자들에게서는 이러한 증상뿐 아니라 앞서 언급되었던 치아 우식에 이환될 위험성을 높이는 다른 여러 증상들이 발현될 수 있다. 따라서 환아에게 해당 증상이 발생할 수 있음을 보호자에게 설명하였고, 주기적인 관찰을 시행하고 있다. 결론적으로 MAS 환자에서 가장 중요한 것은 정기적인 검진이며, 이러한 검진 과정에서 임상적인 증상들이 나타난다면 치과의사의 교정치료나 충치치료 등의 적절한 개입이 필요하고 환자에게도 교육의 중요성이 더욱 강조된다. 장기적인 검진은 본 환아의 병소에 대한 이해를 높일 것이고 치료 결과의 질을 높여줄 것이라고 판단된다. 소아의 파노라마 방사선 사진 판독 시 치아와 주변 골조직의 주의 깊은 관찰이 동반된다면 이러한 질환의 조기 진단에 도움이 될 것이다.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by a clinical triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), skin pigmentation, and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies. A 42-year-old man visited our medical hospital for the treatment of intermittent headaches and was diagnosed with MAS with acromegaly. This patient showed various clinical features of MAS, including pituitary adenoma, polyostotic FD, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The FD lesions showed characteristic radiographic features, such as widespread, sclerotic bony lesions in the cranial bones, mixed radiolucent-radiopaque multilocular lesions in the mandible, and radiolucent lesions in the axial and appendicular skeleton. Over the years, the patient had been hospitalized multiple times due to accidental bony fractures associated with the fragile bony state of FD. This report presents a retrospective description of a case of MAS, with a review of the relevant literature.

Fibrous dysplasia is believed to be a hamartomatous developmental lesion of unknown origin. This disease is divided into monostotic and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Polyostotic type can be divided into craniofacial type, Lichtenstein-Jaffe type, and McCune-Albright syndrome. In this case, a 31-year-old female presented spontaneous loss of right mandibular teeth before 5 years and has shown continuous expansion of right mandibular alveolus. Through the radiographic view, the coarse pattern of the mixed radiopaque-lucent lesion was seen on the right mandibular body, and there was diffuse pattern of the mixed radiopaque-lucent lesion with ill-defined margin in the left mandibular body. In the right calvarium, the lesion had cotton-wool appearance. Partial excision for contouring, multiple extraction, and alveoloplasty were accomplished under general anesthesia for supportive treatment. Finally we could conclude this case was polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of cranio-maxillofacial area based on the clinical, radiologic finding, and histopathologic examination.
