Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia in the Femur Strongly Expressing RANKL With Concomitant Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture: A Case Report.

Background/aim: This study aimed to present a rare case of fibrous dysplasia (FD) in a healthy young adult man with a concomitant osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.
