Abstract:
Cross sectional retrospective study of 20 cases of Fibrous dysplasia confirmed by pathological result at Muculoskeletal Pathology Ward, Traumatologic and Orthopedic Center Hå ChÝ Minh City we noted a female predominance with M/F ratio = 13/7; ages group from 8 to 58 year old average age 24 year old. Polyostotic F.D exists only in 5 cases while the rest 15 cases are Monostotic F.D Tibia and femur are the most affected bones. Depend on the sites of lesion, we have 4 main patterns of bone lesion: 1. Pure lytic lesion. 2. Ground glass lesion. 3. Sclerotic lesion. 4. Complex lesion. From the determining factors as sex, age, sites of lesions, pattern of bone lesions, we try to find some criteria for the diagnosis of FD disease in Vietnamese patients.
