Abstract
|
|
|
Fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal developmental anomaly of unknown etiology with no apparent familial, hereditary, or congenital basis, characterized by single or multiple areas of fibrous tissue replacement of medullary cavity of one or more bones. This disease is classified with monostotic and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia to those forms of the disease in which one or more than one bone is involved.
The majority of mild case are simply treated by a cosmetic and conservative removal of the lesion contributing to the facial deformity and severe cases are impassible to treat in this manner. For this reason, radiation therapy has been used with some success, but this method is hazardous because of the possibility of subsequent malignant transformation.
Twenty-one cases of fibrous dysplasia diagnosed by roentgenologic or histologic assessments at Chosun Univ. Dental hospital during recent eight years (1979~1986) were analyzed.
