ABSTRACT
Fibrous dysplasia is a very uncommon benign neoplasm, and an idiopathic skeletal disorder in which medullary bone is replaced and disturbed by poorly organized, structually unsound fibroosseous tissue, which may produce cortical expansion.
Although fibrous dysplasia of extracranial skeleton is a relatively common bone lesion, the involvement of facial bones is much rarer and constitutes a problem in diagnosis and management since the facial bones are so essential to the proper function and cosmetic appearance of the patient.
Recently, the authors experienced a case of fibrous dysplasia which involved right maxilla in a 17 years old male as a slowly growing mass with facial asymmetry. The patient was cosmetically managed through midfacial degloving approach.
