Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign bone condition where inhibition of bone-forming stromal cells lead to the replacement of healthy bone and bone marrow by fibrous tissue and woven bone. The most common localizations are the craniofacial bones, proximal femur, and ribs. The classic pattern of FD on anatomic imaging is the ground-glass density lesion with a thin cortex. This chapter describes the bone SPECT/CT findings of FD in the jaw.
