POLYOSTOTIC FIBROUS DYSPLASIA

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a non inherited skeletal disorder in which bone-forming cells fail to mature and produce too much fibrous or connective tissue. We report a case of 3 years old female with limping gait and limb length discrepancy. X-ray lower limb showed lucent expansile lesions in metaphyseal regions of right femur & tibia. Skeletal survey showed unilateral monomelic similar like lesions involving right lower limb and right iliac bone, right humerus and radius. On the basis of X-ray and biopsy findings, diagnosis of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of right upper and lower limb was made. She was referred to Rehabilitation department for management of her limb length shortening and bone deformities.
