Description

A 27-year-old man whose chief complaint was a painless swelling in the left maxilla, was examined and a monostotic fibrous dysplasia was diagnosed clinicopathologically. Routine X-ray examinations of the lesion revealed a ground-glass appearance. This image was quite useful for making a diagnosis. In addition, axial CT, three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and bone scintigraphy were performed both preoperatively and postoperatively. Axial CT images provided much information such as the area of the lesion, its position and the relationship to the surrounding tissue. The 3D images were useful in choosing the surgical approach and in the postoperative assessment of fibrous dysplasia, which caused facial deformation. The bone scintigram showed an unusual accumulation of phosphate substance in the lesion.
