An Unusual Case of Fibrous Dysplasia, Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis, and Eagle’s Syndrome

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disease in children and young adults. This is characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue along with immature woven bone. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder and has variable presentations that pose challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the symptoms, location, or possible complications. Symptomatic lesions are treated with surgical resection. cosmetic concerns of the patients are taken care of by surgical contouring. For any unresectable or recurrent lesion, bisphosphonate therapy can be used as a form of medical management.

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disease in children and young adults. This is characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue along with immature woven bone. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder and has variable presentations that pose challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the symptoms, location, or possible complications. Symptomatic lesions are treated with surgical resection. cosmetic concerns of the patients are taken care of by surgical contouring. For any unresectable or recurrent lesion, bisphosphonate therapy can be used as a form of medical management.
