Fibrous dysplasia is a rare genetic syndrome that affects bone tissue. This pathology replaces the mineralized matrix of the bone affected with connective and fibrous tissue. This article describes a mandibular fibrous osseous dysplasia case and its surgical treatment. A 45-year-old woman complained about a slow development of swelling of the left mandibular bone. The orthopantomography (OPT) and the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed a well-circumscribed sclerotic lesion with a ground-glass appearance apical to the 3.5 element. The surgery was performed to excise the lesion. Anatomopathological examination of tissue confirmed the suspects among the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. The patient underwent to follow-up of 4 years, and no recurrences were found. In the absence of a univocal consensus on therapy, surgery remains the treatment of choice for unifocal forms.

Beyond enchondromas, the most common bone tumors of the hand, there are numerous less common benign bone tumors and mimickers with which orthopaedic and hand surgeons should be familiar. These include other benign cartilage tumors, cystic lesions, osteogenic tumors, giant cell tumor, and fibrous dysplasia. Particularly unique lesions include bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora lesion), florid reactive periostitis, turret exostosis (acquired osteochondroma), giant cell reparative granuloma (solid aneurysmal bone cyst), and epidermoid cyst.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD), caused by activating mutations of GNAS, is a skeletal disorder with considerable clinicopathological heterogeneity. Although prevalent mutations such as R201C and R201H dominate in FD, a limited number of rare mutations, including R201S, R201G, and Q227L, have been documented. The scarcity of information concerning these uncommon mutations motivates our investigation, seeking to enhance comprehension of this less-explored subgroup within FD.
