Description

Fibrous dysplasia rarely arises from membranous bone. In this paper a case of fibrous dysplasia originating in the vomer bone of the nasal septum is presented.<BR>The patient was a 57-year-old Japanese woman. The tumor-like lesion was detected by chance with MR imaging when the patient was ill with transient vertigo. An operation was performed under general anesthesia by means of an endonasal approach combined with a transpalatal approach. The tumor was totally removed along with a part of the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. The vomer bone was extirpated segmentally along with the middle part of the hard palate. The pathological diagnosis was fibrous dysplasia.<BR>As far as we are aware, this is the first report of fibrous dysplasia arising from the vomer bone.
