Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disease that causes replacement of the medullary bone with fibrous tissue in one or more bones. Long bone like femur, tibia and fibular are often affected and occurring under 30 years old. We report a case of two solitary lesions of fibrous dysplasia with pathologic fracture treated with bone curettage, bone graft, plate fixation, who complains of lower leg pain.
