Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental disease of bone in which the normal substance in the interior of the bone is replaced by fibro-osseous connective tissue. Histologically, it shows varying degrees of osseous metaplasia. The skeletal system, including long bones, ribs, craniofacial bones, and the pelvis, is common site of fibrous dysplasia. However, fibrous dysplasia is rare in the nasal cavity, especially involving the turbinate. Here, we reported a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the inferior turbinate with a review of the relevant literature.
