Published: December 2009

A case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia in a 54-year-old male complaining of severe pain in the right hip is presented. Imaging findings demonstrated an extremely aggressive lesion involving bones, liver, lungs, and lymph nodes, and suggested the possibility of sarcomatous transformation. Histological examination established a diagnosis of metastatic high-grade renal carcinoma, clear cell type, and demonstrated the presence of superimposed giant cell reparative granuloma. This latter is a rare example of giant cell reparative granuloma arising in a long bone and in association with fibrous dysplasia. The clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features of fibrous dysplasia and giant cell reparative granuloma are discussed.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign tumor condition in which normal bone is replaced by structurally deficient fibrous lamellar bone. It represents approximately 5-7% of benign bone tumors and occurs in two presentations: monostotic, which is the most common, and polyostotic. The proximal femur is one of the most common locations for benign tumors, including FD.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical manifestation of various underlying causes, characterized by the combination of clinical and imaging findings associated with the posterior cerebral areas and relating to arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. No association was made so far between PRES and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), a rare genetic disorder resulting in fibrous dysplasia. A 33-year-old female with MAS was presented to the emergency department of the 417 Army Share Fund Hospital in Athens (Greece) after seizure activity with two episodes of ocular upward deviation and transient facial palsy, each lasting a few minutes, followed by a postictal phase.

Fibrous dysplasia is a slow-progressing benign condition characterized by abnormal bone formation that leads to some skeletal disorders. Although some of the fibrous dysplasia have unusual clinical and radiographic features that can lead to a challenging diagnosis, most lesions reveal an expansile bone defect due to cortex thinning. This report presented a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of a 43-year-old woman with involvement of the right maxillary jaw and sinuses, which indicated unusual histopathological features.
