Abstract
The monostotic fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of bone development, usually asymptomatic, which affects only 1 bone and is characterized by the substitution of the normal bone by an excessive proliferation of the fibrous connective tissue. In almost all cases there are deformities that cause aesthetic and functional disorders. The diagnosis is based on clinical, radiographic, and histologic characteristics. The facial asymmetry is the main clinical change, which is radiographically observed as a radiopaque appearance with frosted glass appearance, and histologically it is verified by the excessive proliferation of bone-forming mesenchymal cells. The objective of the present study is to report a case of a monostotic fibrous dysplasia in the middle third of the face, causing facial asymmetry and treated by a conservative surgery with good aesthetic results.
