Published: September 2014

We describe a case of an 8-year-old girl with large irregular café au lait macules on the right cheek and right lower extremity presenting with sudden onset vision loss and found to have polyostotic fibrous dysplasia on imaging. The classic triad of McCune-Albright syndrome is discussed along with the importance of recognition in patients with partial presentation. This case also highlights a rare and potentially devastating neurologic complication of McCune-Albright syndrome, as well as the need for early diagnosis and continual surveillance in these patients.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a genetic disorder, marked by bone lesions, often affecting the craniofacial skeleton. Pain is a prevalent yet heterogeneous symptom reported by patients with craniofacial FD. Effective treatments are currently lacking, posing a significant clinical challenge to patient care.

Article Synopsis
  • *The systematic literature review from 2010-2023 revealed that management strategies for CFD must be personalized, with asymptomatic patients monitored and those with symptoms possibly needing medical or surgical intervention.
  • *The review emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to CFD treatment, as well as the need for ongoing monitoring due to potential complications and the risk of malignant transformation.

Objective: Adreno CorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing's syndrome (CS) in children is very rare but potentially fatal. In bilateral nodular hyperplasia, synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy (SBA) represents the definitive treatment to correct hypercortisolism. We aim to report the multidisciplinary management of this rare condition.

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare, benign, and slowly progressive bone disorder that affects one or more bones, where the normal bone is replaced by atypical fibrous connective tissue, making the bone weak, fragile, and more susceptible to fracture. FD can affect a single bone (monostotic FD) or multiple bones (polyostotic FD). The clinical manifestations and progression of FD vary from one individual to the other.

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by a triad of fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots, and endocrine dysfunction. We present a 15-year-old male patient from Mauritius with MAS having multiple café-au-lait macules (CALM) and suffering from polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving long bones of bilateral lower limbs and craniofacial deformities without endocrine abnormality. This case highlights the long-term management of MAS in a pediatric patient, focusing on both surgical interventions and the use of denosumab to address bone fragility.
