Abstract

Three instances of fibrous dysplasia are reported. In one, only the left maxilla was involved, in the second, the maxilla plus the ethmoid were involved, while in the third the right and left maxillae alongwith the ethmoid formed one unit of the lesion. The last named showed a very advanced state of the disease process resulting in destructive changes and cyst formation. None showed skin pigmentation or extraskeletal lesions. In view of these clinical presentations, the relevence of the prefixes “Monostotic or Polyostotic” to fibrous dysplasia has been discussed.
